Gonna be tough with Hellmuth playing so well out of the BB.

Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Vanessa Selbst raised to 9,000 on the button, Dan "jungleman12" Cates three-bet to 27,000 from the small blind and Selbst called.

The dealer fanned {5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{q-Clubs}, Cates check-called a bet of 19,500 and the turn was the {k-Diamonds}. Cates checked again, Selbst fired a second bullet worth 33,500 and Cates called.

The {8-Clubs} completed the board and Cates checked a third and final time.

"All in," Selbst announced, making it around 88,000 to go.

Cates went into the tank, muttering hand possibilities and sat back in his chair. Nearly six minutes elapsed before he finally dropped a handful of pink T5,000 chips into the pot - signifying a call - and Selbst turned over {k-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a pair of kings.

Cates sprang from his chair.

"Honestly, I thought you had some bull**** like that!" he yelled across the table, splashing the rest of his stack forward. "Great f***ing bluff!"
The online wiz kid stormed off and a few players at the table started to laugh.

"You ravage," Keven Stammen, who heard the tirade, told Selbst in passing.

"I expected a lot worse," Selbst admitted, grinning as she stacked her newly acquired chips.

lol

Selbst really has the perfect persona for poker. People probably tilt-spew their stacks to her regularly just from being around her long enough.

I don't really follow this stuff closely enough to know, but the $25K mix-max has an average stack of about 54 BBs as we approach the bubble. Standard for a tourney of this size/magnitude?

Probably??? Happens all the time, she deserves it thought because of her style. Goes both ways though.

yeah he was mainly a cash game player, but cash game players do well in deepstack events. Like the main event

If you put Ivey within 2 tables of a bracelet my monies on Ivey every time. Sick field left though. Klink being the CL just makes me lol. He's been playing very well as of late though.
