Liv Boeree eliminated 18 year old Finnish player Toni Pettersson in third place when she flop a set of threes and bet big only to be re-raised by Pettersson who paired his king on the board, Liv pushed all-in and was called. This put her in a really good position with 23.2 million chips going heads up as the new chip leader against Jakob Carlsson who had 14.5 million chips.

The ecstatic Liv Boeree was speechless about her big win as she was fearing the heads-up match against Jakob Carlsson because he is such a good poker player. On the last hand Jakob Carlsson shoved all-in with A-6 and Liv called with pocket fives which held up when no ace or six hit the board.

Liv Boeree commented “It’s exactly what I’ve been working towards when I started playing poker four years ago; to win a major tournament, I just didn’t think it’d come so quickly.”

In Liv Boeree latest Twitter update she stats ” Um. I Just won an EPT…”
