Affleck's Ploy Pays Off

We came across Matt Affleck battling it out with Vanessa Selbst in a raised pot on a {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{A-Spades} board. Affleck put out a bet of 1,300 and was eventually raised by Selbst to 4,200. Affleck made the call and to the turn we went.

When the {J-Hearts} hit on the turn Selbst wasted no time and put Affleck all in. Affleck instantly called and flipped over {A-}{A-}. Selbst slowly put her cards in the muck and mixed them around so no one could know what she had before the river could even come out.

A meaningless {10-} hit on the river and Affleck doubled up.
