Liv Boeree Doubles Up

Boeree Doubles Up

Liv Boeree, and her one good leg, has just doubled up over at Table #4.

There was a raise from under the gun to 1,200, Boeree called on the button and the big blind also called. The flop was {J-Spades} {3-Hearts} {2-Hearts}, the big blind checked, the initial raiser c-bet for 1,700, Boeree called as did the big blind. The turn card was the {Q-Diamonds} and this time Boeree had the opportunity to bet once checked to. She took it, bet 4,100 and only the initial raiser called. On the river we had the {7-Diamonds} and the initial raiser checked very quickly. Boeree placed her chips in one tower and moved them all-in. The initial raiser asked for a count - it was 11,575 - and he made the call. Boeree flipped over {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} for the winning hand and we couldn't see the initial raisers hand because the dealer accidentally mucked it.

Eric Froehlich is Out

The hijack opened up for 400 and Eric Froehlich moved all-in for 5,850 on the button. The player in the small blind called and the hijack moved all-in. A pained expression came over the face of the small blind as he realised he couldn't call for the rest of his stack. He placed his 5,850 in the middle and folded his hand leaving the pair heads up.

The dealer then mucked Froehlich's hand.

"Give me my hand back…I haven't mucked…I may muck in a moment though," said Froehlich.

Board: {8-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {x-}

Froehlich did muck his hand after all.

Freddy Deeb has just removed Soi Nguyen from the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em equation after the pair played for stacks on a flop of {J-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}. Deeb was holding {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} and Nguyen {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}. The turn {6-Diamonds} brought in the flush for Deeb and and the unnecessary {4-Clubs} finished off the board. Nguyen was out and Deeb moved up to 29,000.

Welcome to Event #23 $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em - Six Handed

2012 WSOP Standard Bracelet

Good morning and welcome to the coverage of the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em - Six Handed, World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet event. It is Event #23 of 61 and you are in for a treat, because if six-handed action is anything it is fast and furious.

Yesterday was an amazing day for the WSOP with Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey both going heads-up for WSOP gold in their respective events. Phil Ivey came up short losing in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em event to Andy Frankenberger but Phil Hellmuth made it bracelet number 12 when he won the $2,500 Seven Card Razz event. Will both poker phenom's be back on the horse for todays event? We sure hope so because the boys are on fire.

Last year this event was a $2,500 buy-in event and it attracted 1,378 players for a total prizepool of $3,134,950. The eventual winner was Ukranian Oleksii Kovalchuk and we are sure he will be back to defend his title when the festivities kick-off at 12:00 PM. Also on the final table last year and sure to be playing again this year are Chris Moorman (3rd), Dan O'Brien (4th) and Will Failla (7th).

So get your behinds into the Brasilia Room at 12:00 PM or watch all of our coverage at PokerNews.
