So what is driving these ladies to take the cake? For Selbst it could be her luck, it could be chance, or it could be the remarkable academic background that draws her to the table. It was during 2007 that Selbst first came onto the scene where she managed to finish 3rd in the heads-up championship of the World Series of Poker.It was only a year later that she picked up her first bracelet in a pot-limit Omaha contest and then as a complete surprise to most people she disappeared from scene.

She can always join in with Internet Poker and perhaps have a game of PKR Poker, or Everest Poker
