After three action-packed days of poker at the UK and Ireland Poker Tour Edinburgh Main Event, a field of 427 entries has become a final table (will be played today) of 8 players! The chip leader is Jason Beazley (UK) with 2.3 million chips and Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree is not far behind with 2.2 million!
Boeree (the only big name on the final table) had poor results on the tournament circuit last year, but 2014 looks promising so far given that she finished in 50th place ($32,000) at the recent PCA Main Event and now has a great chance of taking down the UKIPT Edinburgh Main Event for £93,900!
