Abugazal's Ace-Ten is Good

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Adi Abugazal, on the cutoff, faced a 7,000 bet from Joshua Zucchet in early position. With the board reading {8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, Abugazal made the call.

The river brought the {8-Diamonds}, Zucchet checked, and Abugazal made his own 7,000 bet. Zucchet called, mucking when Abugazal showed {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a turned two pair.

Boeree Busted By Her Boyfriend

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Igor Kurganov may be sleeping on the couch tonight after he just eliminated his girlfriend Liv Boeree from Day 1a of the 2019 World Series of Poker Main Event.

The poker couple, who won the 2017 WSOP $10,000 Tag Team event for a pair of gold bracelets, was seated at opposite ends of the same table when Brian Altman raised to 1,000 from middle position. Boeree was short and three-bet all in for 2,400 from the cutoff. When action reached Kurganov in the big blind, he opted for a raise to 5,000 even, which drove Altman from the hand.

Kurganov: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Boeree: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

"Come on," Boeree said with a smile after the {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop gave her a flush draw.

"Let me do it," Kurganov replied. "I'll never get the chance ever again."

Neither the {2-Diamonds} turn nor {4-Spades} river helped Boeree and she walked around the table to give her beloved a hug before departing the Main Event.

Haneberg Folds Queens Pre-Flop

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Larry Smart raised from middle position. It folded around to Andre Haneberg who three-bet out of the big blind to 11,500. Smart then moved all in for about 42,000 more. Haneberg looked uncomfortable immediately and thought about it for a while before folding {q-}{q-} face up to the astonishment of a few of the players at the table.

Simunic Loses on Outer Feature

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

At the Amazon outer feature table, after a raise from Marius Pospiech, Josip Simunic three-bet to 3,800 from the small blind with {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and Pospiech called in position with {q-Spades}{j-Spades}.

The flop was {j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Simunic continued for 3,500, which Pospiech called. The turn was the {q-Clubs}, improving Pospiech to two pair, and Simunic now bet 8,000. Pospiech once again called.

On the {3-Spades} river, Simunic bet 10,000, Pospiech shoved all in for 23,900, and Simunic threw it into the muck with some disgust after half a minute.

Abitboul's Flush Nets a Big Double

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

There was around 10,000 in the pot and a {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{a-Hearts} board on the felt, when a raising war between Roee Abitboul in the cutoff and the button resulted in Abitboul getting his last 48,400 in the middle and his opponent calling.

Abitboul tabled {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the nut flush, and his opponent shook his head and showed his {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}; both players had flopped a pair, then went runner-runner for a flush, but Abitboul's nut flush earned him the double.

Turyansky Eliminates Boudreau on a Cooler

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Alex Turyansky put out a bet for 6,000 from the big blind, with the board showing {8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Kevin Boudreau, with about 12,000 chips remaining on the button, went into the tank. Boudreau thought it over for a bit before going all in over the top, getting the call from Turyansky.

Alex Turyansky: {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Kevin Boudreau: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}

It was a tough end to the day for the fan favorite Boudreau, who found no help on the {3-Hearts} river.
