Go on, James

James Akenhead and Liv Boeree played heads up for the better part of two full levels before Akenhead was finally victorious. On the final hand, the two got all the chips in the middle preflop, and Akenhead's {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} had Boeree's {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} dominated.

The {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop was a big sweat, but the turn ({6-Spades}), and the river ({5-Spades}) were both black, eliminating Boeree from the tournament.
