Selbst Halved
It's hard to really hover near those two crow's nest tables, but we're trying to check in on them frequently. Our last check-in sees that one of the notable balconeers is down to about 17,000 here in the early going.
When we made it to Table 29, Vanessa Selbst was looking a bit peeved, and it is indeed her who's lost half her stack. Marcelo Marigliano, to her immediate left, was grinning like a school boy and chattering like one as well. It appears that she folded away a big chunk of her stack after a turn raise, and she was grumpily trying to pick at Marigliano for some information.
The two of them were still bluffing at each other as they each tried to figure out what the other one had. "If you just call on the turn, I put you in on the river."
"I know," Marigliano said, still smirking broadly.
"Oh, so you were bluffing then?" Selbst asked, not expecting an answer. She got a shrug from her opponent instead.
"I just arrived in London like two hours ago and I'm down to half my stack already."
