She decided to quit professional poker in 2018 to follow a different career path and focus on building her own family. <\/p>\n<p>That decision produced great results for the former poker pro who was recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/news\/women-in-poker-hall-of-fame-final-seven-nominees-includes-kristen-bicknell-and-vanessa-selbst\">inducted into the WiPHoF<\/a>, as she is now a successful trader working on Wall Street, happily married with two kids. <\/p>\n<p>But poker remains in Selbst\u2019s heart and mind and that\u2019s why joining the <strong>World Series of Poker (WSOP) Thrill Team<\/strong> was a no-brainer for her. She even considers it as an excuse to get back to the felts. Suffice it to say, the 39-year-old simply wants to play again, and becoming a member of the team will enable her to do just that.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"selbst-joins-the-wsop-thrill-team\">Selbst Joins the WSOP Thrill Team<\/h2>\n<p>The WSOP Thrill Team was created to mark the 10th anniversary of the WSOP free-to-play app. Selbst, along with <strong>Patrik Antonius, Espen J\u00f8rstad, Ethan Yau, Adam Hendrix, Landon Tice and Samantha Abernathy<\/strong>, will be active on the app to give players from all over the globe the opportunity to compete against them.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FWorldSeriesofPokerGame%2Fvideos%2F734262388297252%2F?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As part of the celebrations, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/poker-apps\">poker app<\/a> will also launch a host of exciting new features, with players also getting the chance to win gold bracelets and rings.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"selbst-will-play-at-2023-wsop\">Selbst Will Play at 2023 WSOP<\/h2>\n<p>Apart from joining the WSOP Thrill Team, Selbst has another major poker endeavor this year as she will be competing in the <strong>2023 WSOP Main Event<\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/blog\/best-vegas-live-poker-tournaments-that-you-can-play-in-june-and-early-july\">other tournaments in Las Vegas<\/a>. Already a three-time WSOP bracelet winner, Selbst will attempt to win her fourth bracelet this summer. <\/p>\n<p>She is managing her expectations though, considering that she has been away from the felts for a very long time. Her last WSOP Main Event stint was back in 2017 when she was eliminated in a sick cooler. After that disappointing finish, Selbst took part in four more live tournaments and cashed in all of them, including a 14th-place finish in the <em>2019 $3,500 WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship<\/em> for $39,950.<\/p>\n<p>Despite admitting that she won\u2019t be the same player that she used to be, Selbst said her competitive spirit remains strong and alive and she just wants to
