Liv Boeree Runs Into Rockets
Never has a title been so apt because Team PokerStars Pro, Liv Boeree, the poker player with a degree in Astrophysics, has just run into rockets.
The player seated in early position raised to 450, which was small enough to see four other players, including Max Lykov call. Seated on the button, Boeree raised it up to 2,100, only to see the initial preflop raiser move all in for a total of 16,800 chips.
This monster sized raise folded everyone out but sent Boeree into the tank. When she emerged from her deep thought, she wanted some answers to her questions.
"Why such a big shove?" was the first question poised to her statuesque opponent, he replied something along the lines of he did not think she had a hand that. Another minute or so passed and Boeree tossed in a pile of chips, more than enough to make the call.

was no help at all to the EPT San Remo winner and when the 
peeled off on the turn she was drawing dead. The inconsequential 
fell on the river, knocking Miss Boeree back down to 21,200
