Boeree Eliminated

"Aces versus tens," reported Liv Boeree dejectedly to a friend on the neighbouring table.

As I neared, I learned that Boeree was down to 125, and braced to go all in under the gun on the next very next hand, which indeed she did.

With UTG+1 and UTG+4 both limping, the next player made it 500 to go. Feguson called from the button, only for UTG+1 to reraise to 2,000.

Everyone folded leaving Boeree heads-up against just one player and with great value for her 125, but the knowledge that her paltry {10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} is going to have to somehow overcome what is surely an overpair.

UTG+1 did indeed show a monster in {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}, and although the {6-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop offered a glimmer of hope for Boeree, the {A-Hearts} turn banged in an abrupt final nail and Boeree was done.
