Boeree Finds a Double Up

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante
Liv Boeree
Liv Boeree

Anthony Reategui opened to 2,500 and it was called by the hijack button. Liv Boeree thought about her move for a minute and raised it to 9,500. Reategui quickly folded and the hijack pushed all in, putting Boeree's tournament at risk for her last 27,875 chips. Boeree snap-called and it created the following showdown:

Liv Boeree: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Her opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

It was a typical flip situation but the board {10-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} improved Boeree's hand into a full house and gave her the double up.

Simko Can't Hold Against One-Outer

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Milan Simko was in the small blind, three-betting to 5,500 over a 1,500-raise from early position. The original raiser four-bet jammed for 29,000 and Simko snapped him off with {K-}{K-}. Simko was in great shape against {10-}{10-}, especially when one of the other players at the table confirmed to have folded a ten.

But the last ten in the deck arrived on the flop and Simko's kings couldn't recover, leaving the 120-blind pot to his opponent. Simko now sits on 23,000.
