Igor Kurganov and Liv Boeree Triumph at 2017 WSOP Event #2


Igor Kurganov and Liv Boeree won the Event #2: $10,000 Tag Team No-Limit Hold’em Championship at the 2017 WSOP. The couple, consisting of a Russian and an English player, emerged victorious among 102 teams. Each player secured their first WSOP bracelet, and they split the prize money of $273,964.

In addition to their win, Kurganov and Boeree donated half of their winnings to the charity program Raising for Effective Giving (REG), a well-known initiative in the poker community.

Meanwhile, André Akkari finished 23rd in Event #3: $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em SHOOTOUT, earning $6,407. This marked Akkari's first in-the-money finish for Brazil in the series.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
