Vanessa Selbst with Lucky Streak in 25 K High-Rollers

I have vowed many times to stop reproducing the easy phrase 'best female player' when writing about @Vanessa Selbst, who is 'possibly the best No-Limit Tournament player on the planet – man or woman' (to quote @Phil Hellmuth).

In addition, the two-time bracelet winner (2008 and 2012) is unanimously recognized in the poker community as an excellent heads up tournament player with a great track record in high roller events. Vanessa is about to enter Day 3 (four-handed play) in the #WSOP2 Mixed Max 25K buy-in event. This is what she tweeted after she took the chip lead on Day 2:

Here is Vanessa's track record in 25 K (USD and Euro) high rollers since 2011:

2011 - 6th place in the NBC Heads Up Poker Championship, for $75,000

2013 - 1st place in the PCA 25K High Roller, for $1,424,420

2013 - 4th place in EPT Monaco 25K High Roller , for $376,869

And most recently, 4th place in the 2014 PCA High Roller, for $607,580.

On Day 3 of the Mixed Max, Vanessa Selbst will be facing tough opponents at her Table 354 in the Amazon Room at the @Rio  - none other than @Justin 'JC' Cuong Van Tran , @Noah Schwartz and @Robert Tepper. It would be too much to hope for another four-way all-in as the one we witnessed yesterday at the Canada Cup  Main Event Final Table, but it is certain to be a great show in any case!
