Behbehani Slowrolls Boeree To The Rail

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree just walked by holding a chip-rack and a fresh stack, as she had been knocked out from the tournament.

"Salman slowrolled me," Boeree laughed, as Salman Behbehani took her remaining chips in the following hand.

The two friends tangled after Boeree had called a raise from the cutoff and Behbehani three-bet from the button. The initial raider, in middle position, folded and Boeree moved all in for 38,000 chips.

"When Salman tanked for a while and asked for a count, and for the bets to be pulled in, I knew what was going on," Boeree laughed.

Behbehani did indeed have pocket aces, and Boeree pair of sevens didn't stand a chance.

Soshnikov Dispatches Reigning World Series of Poker Main Event Champ

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Joe McKeehen
Joe McKeehen

Joe McKeehen limped the button and Jared Jaffee did the same from the small blind. Ivan Soshnikov then raised to 4,200 from the big, McKeehen three-bet all in for 22,300, and Jaffe folded. Soshnikov made the call and the cards were turned up.

Soshnikov: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
McKeehen: {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}

It was a bad spot for McKeehen, and his best bet was to catch an ace. The {9-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop was far from it, and the {5-Spades} turn didn't do him any favors. McKeehen needed an ace and an ace only on the river to stay alive, but it wasn't in the cards as the {J-Spades} paired the board.
