She greeted him by remembering, "I was watching you in the hall when you took out Jeremy Ausmus with Ace-Nine. I nearly cried!"
She was referring to Slyvia's 2012 Main Event Run when he knocked out Ausmus when he called with a pair of nines and eliminated Ausmus in fifth place. They had a good laugh and smile about the good old days and then Slyvia wished Selbst good luck in the Seven Card Stud Event and they parted ways.
