Hands #41-45: The First All-In of the Match

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #41: Vanessa Selbst folded the small blind and gave Jason Mo a walk in the big.

Hand #42: Mo raised to 225,000, Selbst called, and the flop came down {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{j-Spades}. Action went check-check, the dealer burned and turned the {2-Spades}, and once again it went check-check. The {K-Clubs} river inspired Selbst to check for a third time and then call a bet of 320,000 from Mo. Mo tabled the {j-Hearts}{5-Spades} for two pair, and it was good as Selbst mucked her cards.

Hand #43: Selbst opened for 225,000, Mo called, and the flop came out {5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{a-Spades}. Both players checked, the {3-Diamonds} appeared on the turn, and Selbst bet 100,000 after Mo checked. Mo made the call and then checked for a third time on the {2-Diamonds} river. Selbst slowed down and checked behind. Mo tabled the {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a pair of fives, and it was good as Selbst mucked her cards.

Hand #44: Mo raised to 225,000 and Selbst folded.

Hand #45: Selbst raised to 225,000, Mo called and the dealer put out the flop �� {7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Mo checked, as did Selbst, and the {4-Clubs} peeled off on the turn. Mo bet out 325,000, and Selbst pushed back with a raise to 840,000. Mo responded by moving all in and Selbst snap-folded.

Hand #18: Mo raised to 140,000 and Selbst called, which brought about a flop of {2-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Action went check-check, the {3-Clubs} appeared on the turn, and action repeated itself. The {K-Clubs} river saw Selbst bet 185,000 and it worked as Mo laid down his hand.

Hand #19: Selbst was first to act and limped from the button, which prompted Mo to exercise his option from the big blind by raising it up to 220,000. Selbst took her time before making the call, and the two players watched the flop come down {k-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}. Mo checked, Selbst did the same, and the {9-Clubs} peeled off on the turn.

Mo checked for a second time, Selbst did the same, and the {8-Diamonds} completed the board on the river. Once again Mo checked, and Selbst thought long and hard before coming out with a bet of 335,000. Mo wasted little time in releasing his hand.

Hand #20: Mo raised to 140,000 and Selbst folded.

Hand #21: Selbst opened for 135,000, Mo called, and the flop fell {5-Spades}{a-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Selbst bet 140,000 and Mo folded.

Hand #22: Mo raised to 140,000 and Selbst folded. After winning the hand Mo's rail, which includes Doug Polk, began chanting, "Lets go, J-Mo. Lets go, J-Mo. Lets go, J-Mo."

Hand #23: Selbst opened for 135,000 and was met by a three-bet to 400,000 by Mo. Selbst folded.

Hand #24: Mo raised to 140,000, Selbst three-bet to 380,000, and Mo called to see a flop of {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}.

Selbst checked for a third time and Mo came out firing 425,000.

Selbst took her time before check-raising to 1.46 million total. Mo double-checked his hand, swiveled back and forth in his chair, and then slid his cards to the dealer.
