Vanessa Selbst has successfully passed the bar exam, Chris Moorman has successfully returned to the UK in one piece after a vibrant stag weekend in Lisbon, and Terrence Chan is going to skip the Colossus in favor of having a good old fashioned fight.

It’s unusual to wake up in the morning and not read how Vanessa Selbst had single handedly taken apart a final table, on her way to one form of glory or another, but that’s what we’ve settled for as she found the time to study for her bar exam.

Selbst graduated from law school in 2012. At that time she was winning enough money at the poker tables to set her up for life. Law or poker? It didn’t matter how many times she flipped that one in the air, it would have always landed on poker.

Several years; millions of dollars, and some exciting trinkets later, Selbst decided it was time to finish the work she had started in 2008. She pushed poker to one side, locked herself in her office, and went to work. That’s why we have only caught glimpses of her par excellence this past year.
