Boeree Spikes an Ace to Double Up
Level 9
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
On a flop reading 
and around 270,000 in the pot, Christoph Vogelsang checked from the big blind to Liv Boeree who bet 100,000 from early position. Vogelsang check-raised to 325,000 and Boeree shipped all in for 900,000. Vogelsang called and the hands were face up.
Liv Boeree: 
Christoph Vogelsang: 
Vogelsang was in the lead with the only pair and a straight draw. The 
on the turn was no help to Boeree but the 
on the river paired her ace and gave Boeree the best hand. Her hands went up in the air with a big smile on her face as she was finally able to win a pot. Boeree doubled up to over starting stack and remains alive towards the end of Day 1.
