Why doesn't this code print the winner and break out of the loop after.

1. You are resetting board every time, so nobody will ever win. You have to make an argument in the function so that it includes the changed board.
2. You aren't ever returning something to tell the main function whether or not the game is over.
3. Why are you using a do-while loop? Just check whether the winner_x function returned true or false. Ex:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
 
bool winner_x(std::string boar[9]) {
        if(boar[0] == "x" && boar[3] == "x" && boar[6] == "x") {
                return true;
        }
        ... // more of those ifs
        return false; // none of the ifs got executed, so x did not win.
}

...

int main(void) {
        ...
        if(winner_x(boar)) {
                break;
        }
