Vanessa Selbst came out on top at the 2010 PokerStars North American Poker Tour Mohegan Sun Main Event. The female pro was up against some steep competition with a final table that included such notable professionals as Scott Seiver, Cliff Josephy and Jonathan Aguiar.

Selbst entered the final table in the second chip position before going on to single handedly eliminate three of her eight opponents. In the final hand of the match runner up Mike Beasley moved all in preflop with Qh10s and Selbst made the call with Ah8s. The board was dealt Kd6c3d7c and tensions were high as the final card could easily push the competition in one direction or the other. An 8c was revealed and it was all over. Selbst made the low pair and Beasley had nothing.

The $750,000 win is Selbst’s largest cash win ever. It pushes her career winnings past the one million dollar mark and brings her up to a $1,672,855 career total. Selbst is no stranger to poker. She has cashed in seven World Series of Poker (WSOP) events in the past and won a bracelet for the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event back in 2008.

The full final table results for the Mohegan Main Event were as follows:

1st: Vanessa Selbst — $750,000
2nd: Mike Beasley — $428,000
3rd: Michael Woods — $240,000
4th: Scott Seiver — $190,000
5th: Alistar Melville — $150,000
6th: Derek Raymond — $115,000
7th: Cliff Josephy — $85,000
8th: Jonathan Aguiar — $60,244
