The talk before the High Roller final was of the record Vanessa Selbst looked certain to break. Selbst, 28, would become the highest-earning woman in poker if she finished fifth or better, overtaking Kathy Leibert with more than $6 million to her name. In the end Selbst cleared that mark, by some way and in some style, winning the $25,000 High Roller title and a first prize of $1,424,420.

I really admire Vanessa's play and isnt surprising at all, that she would surpass this mark. Being that she is still so young, I,m sure the sky is the limit for her!

She is a very intimidating player who plays aggressive poker. She is for real for sure.

Not sure why someone's achievements should be diminished just cos they're not a "hot one" in your view.

Vanessa Selbst is the best female player of this era. There is only 2 female pro I respect/ praise and that Jennifer Harmon and her. I love watching Selbst play, she really is at the top of her game. If she ever write a poker book, I would definitely buy it

Vanessa Selbst is the Ivey of female poker players. In fact, throw her into a lineup with the men and I will still rate her within the top 10 poker players today.

Pretty sure Tilly doesn't play 25k high roller events. Does she even ever play any more, haven't seen her on the circuit for ages. Did you know she's 54? Looks damn good for her age. I'm rambling now.
