The flop was and Hellmuth bet out 4,000. Winzeler folded before Selbst called. The turn was the and this time Hellmuth opted to check. Selbst went into the tank and counted out a 9,800-chip bet. Hellmuth pondered for a while, counted out the chips and eventually rumbled them into the pot.
The completed the board and Hellmuth snap-checked once more. Selbst took even more time than on the turn but ended up betting 25,700. "I call!" Hellmuth shouted within a split second and turned over the . Selbst shrugged and mucked her cards.

Selbst still has just under the average stack while Hellmuth is amongst the largest stacks in the room.
