Vanessa is clearly a great player, and for every hand where she makes a mistake, there are apparently thousands of others where she has played the situation and the player perfectly.

After looking further into the hand in question, I also think 4-bet shoving in that spot was an error. The reason is Fee 3-bet to around 25% of his stack of roughly 21BBs, and he did it [I]from[/I] the Big Blind. It would be hard to argue that Fee or another good player would actually 3-bet\fold there for 25% of his stack, especially against a player who can 4-bet shove with air making a light 3-bet a risky proposition.

I think Selbst rarely has fold equity in that spot, so shoving leaves her one way to win: by getting it in as an underdog with 28-30% equity against his range (assuming 99+ and all combos of KQ, AQ, AK). She has almost 36% equity against the unpaired combos that make up the majority (64%) of that range though, and it's common for chipleaders\table captains to take out shortstacks in similar fashion.

There's a lot about hyper-aggressive play that I don't understand too, so there may be an argument for 3-betting light in Fee's situation there, but if he did it with his stack against Vanessa Selbst and her stack in that spot, I would definitely call it a leak. As played, I think he played AKo perfectly since the size of the 3-bet was apparently just enough to leave doubt and induce a shove by a much worse hand.
