Vanessa Selbst earned her spot in the World Poker Tour Ladies Championship by winning the WPT Ladies tournament at the Commerce Casino. She said during a WPT interview that she didn’t consider anyone in particular a threat at the final table, but it was the most aggressive players who made the final table so it won’t be an easy win.

Perhaps the most threatening of Selbst’s opponents at the final table will be Van Nguyen. She built herself back up from being the short stack while 10-handed, and she already has a WPT win under her belt after taking down the Celebrity Invitational.
