Two Livs Enter, One Liv Leaves

A Pair of Liv Bs
A Pair of Liv Bs

Our much-anticipated Liv B. v. LivB match didn't last very long. Olivier Busquet raised, and Liv Boeree moved all in. Busquet called to put her at risk. The lovely lady had a pair of them: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. Busquet may have heard that diamonds are a girl's best friend, but he was hoping his {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} would switch the adage. He got his wish on the {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop. Hard to beat the nuts, and Boeree was drawing dead after the {9-Diamonds} turn failed to pair the board.

Busquet will go on to play Jason Mercier in the next round.
