Vanessa Selbst just owned a little bit of Toby Lewis' soul. The two tangled many times yesterday and a lot of that history may have played a part here.
The Team PokerStars Pro opened from under the gun and Lewis peeled from the big blind. On the flop he check-called a 53,000 bet to head to the turn.
Selbst was checked to again and she bet 123,000 before Lewis raised it up to 265,000 with 500,000 behind. Selbst tanked for several minutes before announcing all in. Lewis instantly went a shade of red and slid his cards toeards the muck.
From the cutoff seat, Vanessa Selbst raised to 50,000. Igor Kurganov three-bet to 125,000 from the button, and Selbst folded.
On the next hand, Selbst opened to 50,000 again, this time from the hijack seat. Steven Silverman reraised to 131,000 from the button, and Selbst folded.
Tony Gregg is into second place in the counts after he emptied the clip on Vanessa Selbst.
He opened to 50,000 and was called Selbst and Chris Moore in the big blind. On the flop Gregg continued for 115,00 and only the Team PokerStars Pro called to the turn. There, she called a 170,000 bet from Gregg.
The board completed with the and Gregg wasted little tme in shoving. Selbst took 0.5 seconds to fold.
