Vanessa Selbst, is an online player and she is coach at DuecesCracked.com under the name “fslexcduck”. She went to the final tabled the ladies event at the 2007 W
SOP and finished 3rd. Then she made a return to the semi-final, a year later. But then, over night she disappeared form the event scene.
Despite her good games and a reputation for Internet’s best coaches, Selbst decided she wanted a life away from poker and decided to live a more “intellectual” life. But now she is making a comeback. Now Selbst is ninth on the EPT list. We can watch her in the summer at WSOP for two weeks.
