Vanessa "fslexcduck" Selbst

Vanessa' fans.
Since the elimination of Jon Aguiar, the action has gone raise, re-raise, fold. Surprisingly only one of those pots was won by the highly aggressive Vanessa Selbst. It was the first pot she won at this final table and seemed surprised that her railbirds (about half a dozen strong, and armed with signs that read things like "I'm Gay for Vanessa") didn't applaud. She turned around and saw that they were being interviewed by NAPT hostess Amanda Leatherman.
