Boeree vs Castello Live Tonight + more

Boeree vs Castello Live Tonight
Probably the most unexpected story of the 2009 WSOP but also one of the most strangely intriguing, the fight between UK pro Liv Boeree and Pokernews Hostess Melissa Castello. It takes place tonight at 1pm Vegas time (9PM UK time) and you can watch it exclusively at Pokernews.

Boeree has a big reach advantage and as it clearly is the year of the Brits in Vegas, we fancy her to win the bout, especially as former bookie

Neil Channing suggested she was a 3-1 favourite. It won't be too hard for it to be more entertaining than Gus Hansen vs Theo Jorgensen, and you can watch it live tonight at Pokernews.com.
