Selbst Seeking Something Special
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst won this event last year, and she's got her sights set on a repeat victory after a huge double up.
It happened at the hands of Jean-Philippe Matte, the player to her direct right. We picked up the action on a 
flop as Matte check-called a bet of 32,000 from Selbst. She fired another 73,000 on the 
turn, and Matte came right along with another call. On the river 
, Matte checked one last time, and Selbst moved in for close to 300,000 total. Matte called again, and those were chips he'd have to part with.
Selbst tabled 
for the nut straight, and that was good. After stacking up her double, she finds herself sitting pretty with 840,000 chips and in a battle for the overall chip lead.
We'll remind you once again that Ms. Selbst won this event last year...
