Boeree Busted By Her Boyfriend
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: 
Boeree: 
"Come on," Boeree said with a smile after the 
flop gave her a flush draw.
"Let me do it," Kurganov replied. "I'll never get the chance ever again."
Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped Boeree and she walked around the table to give her beloved a hug before departing the Main Event.
