Boeree Snaps Off Cao
Rui Cao opened the pot to 1,550 from the cutoff seat, and Liv Boeree three-bet from the small blind. Cao called, and they went heads up to a flop. The action check-checked, and Boeree checked again on the raggy turn. Cao took his cue to bet 6,100 at the pot, and Boeree looked him up with the call.
That brought them to the river, and Cao's last 22,000 chips all went into the middle. That sent Boeree deep into the tank, and it would take several minutes before she quietly announced a call.
"Call?!" Cao asked, a bit surprised. Liv nodded, and Cao simply mucked his hand and stood up to leave. Boeree showed the to win the pot as Cao was already a few steps from his chair. The table called him back, though, as he had Boeree covered. Still, he's left with a remainder of just 3,800 in funny money to play with.
From 80,000 to less than four in just a half hour.
