Vanessa Selbst wins NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event
The final table of the $5,000 PokerStars NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event came to a conclusion early Sunday evening, with Vanessa Selbst taking down the title in dominating fashion. In an interesting quirk, like her 2008 WSOP PLO bracelet win over Jamie Pickering, she defeated a strip club owner, Mike Beasley in heads-up play. Beasley held the chip lead at the final table, but within 30 minutes Selbst had regained the lead, and her aggressive style meant she never relinquished her hold on the lead. Her win brought up debate on Twitter inquiring if her win would help get more women into the game, a topic that has appeared at Pokerati here and here for two examples.
Here’s the full final table results, with the edited final table coverage on ESPN2 May 10th at 10pm ET:
1 – Vanessa Selbst, $750,000
2 – Mike Beasley, $428,000
3 – Mike Woods, $240,000
4 – Scott Seiver, $190,000
5 – Alistar Melville, $150,000
6 – Derek Raymond, $115,000
7 – Cliff Josephy, $85,000
8 – Jonathan Aguiar, $60,244

this is poorly worded…does this mean she defeated 2 strip club owners?….very hard to understand…..stick to copy and paste

I got what you were trying to say, Kevin. yes, h, she defeated two strip club owners. one in 2008, and one yesterday. 1+1=2.
And h, though I applaud your use of inconsistent capitalization (that’s kinda my thing, too, especially in comments) … your four- and five-dot ellipses (without proper spacing!) is why you are not a threat to take Kevmath’s job at Pokerati.
