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.

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.
