Selbst Catches a Straight to Survive
Selbst took a large hit to her stack earlier this level in a hand we unfortunately missed. However, she was able to chip up a bit in a recent hand.
We caught up with the action on a 
flop with four players. The player in the small blind checked and Layne Flack bet 1,200 from the big blind. Selbst went all in directly behind him for her last 8,000. The player in the hijack called cold and everyone else got out of the way.
Selbst: 
for an open-ended straight draw.
Opponent: 
for a pair of aces.
The 
turn gave Selbst's opponent a set, but simultaneously gave Selbst a superior straight. The 
river kept Selbst in the lead and she more than doubled up to 18,000.
