$3,500 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship
Level 7: 250/500/75 Ante

Viet Vo is used to grueling hands as he demonstrated on his way winning Event 18 in the 2015 Lucky Hearts Poker Open.  But this one in a WPT Main Event against Vanessa Selbst was a whole new dance.

Pre-flop, Vo had re-raised Selbst and was called sending the hand to a flop.  On board, Selbst checked and Vo bet 6,000 with Selbst making the call.  A came on the turn and Selbst checked again.  Vo fired another 7,800 only to have Selbst call again.

While this action was going on, the WPT camera teams came over, turned on the lights and started filming the hand with the spotlight squarely on Vo.  With a crowd gathered around the table, the came on the river.  Selbst checked one more time, Vo fired one more time but Selbst had enough and quickly re-raised to 25,500.

With all eyes on Vo, he took several minutes in the tank.  He asked for the count of the bet again and continued to ponder the situation.  Finally, the clock was called on Vo and the countdown began.  Vo asked for the bet size one more time and then during the last ten-second countdown he made the call.

Selbst showed and Vo showed he had lost the hand trying to make a hero call with sending more of his chips and the pot over to Selbst.

Action continues here on Level 7 here in our championship event.
