Boeree Hangs On

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree started the day with fewer than 10 big blinds so we kept an eye on her table to see what would happen.

She started off in the cutoff and proceeded to fold every hand, peeking at her cards one at a time and not liking what she saw.

When Boeree was in the big blind Samir Moukawem made an opening bet of 2,500 and with just Ole Schemion in the small blind to act before it was on Boeree if could have been her opportunity. Schemion however raised to 5,000 and, with a tut, Boeree folded.

Moukawem made the call and they saw a flop of {4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Schemion check called a jam from Moukawem and flipped over his {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} against the {7-}{7-} of Moukawem. The turn {q-Diamonds} and river {4-Clubs} saw Moukawem hit the rail only to be replaced moments later by Gus Hansen.

Boeree went on to fold her small blind but when she was in the cutoff and Hansen opened for 2,000 she put the rest of her 4,000 in. Eveyone else folded and they went heads up.

Boeree turned over {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} versus the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} of Hansen. The board ran out {2-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}{j-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and Boeree spiked her five to more than double up. She laughed and apologized for the suckout.
