Boeree Squares Off with Trickett

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante
Liv Boeree almost done

The first of the duel matches we talked about earlier is all but over.

On a board of {8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, Sam Trickett checked to Liv Boeree who fired out 600. Trickett min-raised to 1,200 and Boeree thought for a bit before moving all in. Trickett announced call and Boeree immediately knew she made a mistake. "Whoops," she said.

Tricket turned over {A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for a wheel and Boeree's {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} was drawing to a split. The {A-Hearts} river paired her hand but was no help to over come Trickett's straight.

The good news is that she still has 25 left and you know what they say about a chip and a chair. If Jack Strauss were still with us, it is safe to say he would be a believer in her right now.
