High-Stakes Showdown: Vanessa Selbst's Risky 4-Bet/6-Bet at EPT Berlin

In April 2012, during the EPT Berlin, a high-stakes poker hand unfolded between Kevin McPhee and Vanessa Selbst. The hand became a topic of discussion on the 2+2 forum, with users debating the strategic moves made by both players.

Vanessa Selbst opened with a raise from UTG+1. Kevin McPhee, with a stack of more than 50BB, decided to 3-bet. Selbst, believing that McPhee would fold to a 4-bet, opted for a 4-bet/6-bet move. However, McPhee called, leading to a showdown where Selbst's pair of fours was up against McPhee's A9o.

McPhee tweeted about the hand, stating, "850k. Удвоился против Ванессы, спровоцировав ее 5-бетом с A9 на олл-ин префлоп. Безумная раздача, выиграл монетку... У нее была пара четверок. #iwinflips #EPTBerlin." Selbst reflected on her move, acknowledging the risk but enjoying the pressure she put on her opponents.
