Biechel Cripples Selbst
Joining the action, it looked as though the hijack had opened and Rémy Biechel had flat-called on the button. Vanessa Selbst then raised to 1,000 from the small blind and the original raiser had made the call but Biechel had now 4-bet to 3,750.
Selbst looked concerned, "I hate getting myself into these spots this early."
Despite this, after a minute or so she made it 8,750 to go and Biechel set her all-in after a little dwell. Selbst shrugged and made the call with but saw here opponent's which stayed good on the board.
"It's like literally the only way I can broke there," she said disappointedly as Biechel scooped a 60,000 chip pot, leaving herself with just 500 chips. "Are there any side events going on today?"
