Good luck to all those left in but i would really like to see Liv Boeree win this tournament. She is a great poker player and a great poker broadcaster as well. Good luck to all those left in again

Its funny when you look at the prize pool in these tourneys - 90k for the winner compared with 10x that in the PCA and various other events.
You don't come to Scotland for money! Looks like Boeree is starting to do better anyway, she might not just be a pretty face after all used to boost PS attraction.

As far as i understand UKIPT Edinburgh is very popular among British and Northern Europeans players but not highly prestigious.Why starts so close with PCA?If not,in my opinion,could gather more participants from the upper classes of poker.Anyway,happy to see Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree so close because she needs one title to establish among top pro's worldwide.Let's do not hesitate and wait final table ends.

I cant see why a good-looking poker player who happened to be girl would attract more female players. I can see what would attract more female poker players, but sadly for them L’Oréal or Louis Vuitton didnt have card rooms. Yet.
It can happen though if we all working together Feminism FTW!
