Vanesha Selbst Wins $760,640 in Super High Roller Tournament


Vanesha Selbst, a professional poker player, won $760,640 in a super high roller tournament. This is the 19th time in her career that she has won a six-figure sum in a tournament. Selbst's total winnings amount to $9,005,487, and she is ranked 26th in the history of the most successful tournament players. She is also ranked 5th in the GPI ranking.

In the super high roller tournament, Selbst won $760,640. She has won $1,424,420 in a high roller tournament on the Bahamas last year and her winnings in the last year amount to $3,425,871. Selbst is known for her unique playing style and her analytical approach to poker. She has a long history of playing against Dan Shak and her strategy and game plan differ from other professionals.

Selbst reflected on her performance in the tournament, mentioning a few key hands. She regretted folding on the flop against Dan Shak and another fold on the turn. She also discussed a hand where she folded with 9s 9c on a 6h Kd 6d board against Dan Shak. Selbst admitted that she made a mistake and should have called. She also mentioned a hand where she folded with As Ks on a Kd 8h Ts board against Fabian Kwoß. Selbst stated that she had to call to protect against future bluffs.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
