Table 28:

There are two females left in today's tournament. One of them, Liv Boeree, is playing three-handed at Table 28 with a berth to the final table on the line. Boeree raised to 17,000 after Edison Nguyen limped from the button. Nguyen then moved all in for 96,000 total and Boeree called. Amazingly for a three-handed table, both players had huge hands.

Boeree: {J-Spades}
