Boeree Bust by Furey Who Then Busts Next Hand

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Liv Boeree
Liv Boeree

We saw Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree exiting the feature table area, which led us to believe that she had been eliminated. Sure enough, a quick check with the table confirmed that she had opened with {a-}{10-} only to be three-bet by Kieran Furey. Boeree shoved her short stack, Furey called with {a-}{j-} and the lovely lady was unable to improve.

As we were getting those details, Furey ended up busting in the very next hand. It happened when Barry Foley opened for 2,000 from early position and Furey moved all in from the cutoff for roughly 20,000. George Stoddart then moved all in over the top from the small blind and Foley got out of the way.

Stoddart: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Furey: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Furey was dominated, but the {8-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop lifted his spirits as he picked up a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, his spirits were soon crushed after the {2-Hearts} turn and {Q-Hearts} river both failed to deliver a diamond.

Meanwhile, PokerStars qualifier Marek Hanzlik of the Czech Republic was eliminated by Malta's Emmanuel Mizzi after running the {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} into his opponent's {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}. The board ran out {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and that was all she wrote for Hanzlik.
