Boeree Gets Caught Bullying

A player in early position opened to 2,100, and next to act, Liv Boeree moved all in over top for around 20,000. It folded around to Gregg Merkow in the small blind, who called all in for 12,000. The original raiser folded, and it was time to flip 'em. Boeree held {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, which doesn't play too well against the Merkow's holding of [ahqj]. The {8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds} board was no help to Liv, who dropped to 8,000. Merkow doubled to 25,000.
