Boeree Snaps Off Cao

Rui Cao - all but out
Rui Cao - all but out

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 {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} flop. The action check-checked, and Boeree checked again on the raggy {2-Hearts} 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 {9-Hearts} 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 {K-Hearts} {10-Spades} 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.
