Selbst Spikes Straight on the Turn to Double
Action folded to a short-stacked Vanessa Selbst in the hijack and she moved all in for 315,000. The cutoff and button both folded, and Scott Anderson thought for a few moments before making the call from the small blind.
Showdown
| Selbst |   |
| Anderson |   |
Selbst was playing from behind for her tournament life, and the 
flop would leave her wanting, though it did give her a gut-shot straight draw. Wouldn't you know it, the said straight got there when the dealer burned and turned the 
. Anderson was drawing dead headed into the 
river, and Selbst received a much-needed double.
