The poker world is still abuzz over the dramatics last night at the Mohegan Sun. Vanessa Selbst battled to a NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event ... her second Main Event title is as many years - simply stunning!

Selbst is also the first NAPT two-time champion.

Incredible job by Vanessa and by runner-up Dan Shak, who refused to lay down when Vanessa has her foot on his neck.

Vanessa has this to say on her twitter feed (@VanessaSelbst) ...
Thanks to everyone for all the love... it feels pretty incredible right now. Back to back at Partouche ONE TIME? :D


Selbst will indeed be attempting to conquer the Partouche Poker Tour Grand Final for the second straight year ... she'll always be on everyone's list to watch at the upcoming World Series of Poker.
