Liv Boeree wins PokerStars Sunday Warm-Up for $147,000

Monday, 7 February 2011

The PokerStars Sunday Warm-Up attracted the usual strong field of pros and amateurs last night with 4,710 players putting up $215 to compete in the $750,000 guaranteed tournament. The tournament attracted enough players to bust the guarantee and take the prize pool to nearly a million dollars.

With less than six tables remaining in contention and well into the money, we found ourselves with Daniel Negreanu; Liv Boeree; Pieter der Korver still alive in the event and guaranteed a payday of at least $2,000. Boeree was the only one to make it to the final table and arrived with a middling stack.


She won an all-in confrontation before the flop holding A-Q to K-K and then doubled up her new stack by winning a better-than-coinflip with 6-6 versus A-4. She wound up heads-up against SCOOP double-wnner James “mig.com” Mackey with a 3-1 deficit before doubling through with Q-9 against K-J, catching top pair on the flop.


Finally, mig.com committed all his chips and Boeree, covering, made the call. She found herself in good shape with 7-7 against A-6 and held up on a blank board to take down the top prize in her first tournament win as a PokerStars Pro.


The full final table payouts were as follows:
1. Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree $147,780.96
2. James "mig.com" Mackey $109,743.00
3. Aduobe4 $77,715.00
4. Bjoerni89 $53,223.00
5. DNA2RNA $40,035.00
6. vmnielsen $30,615.00
7. Cod Meharly $21,195.00
8. Team PokerStars Pro Marcin "Goral" Horecki $11,775.00
9. RasA86 $7,536.00
