It would be nice if she wins it. She was up to 71M chips at one point, but 50M is still a good stack to work with.

Could Leo be the next Chris Moneymaker? There are many great women poker players out there. I am surprised it has been so long since a woman made the final table at the Main Event. Is it strictly the numbers? What percentage of poker pros are women? In the absence of any hometown Canadian heroes to route for, I would like to see her win. It just might spark more participation by the "Fairer Sex".

Well according to google poker pros are 95% male... that's a bit of an edge😎

So excited to watch this final table! We have waited so long for another woman to make it to this point. There are many worthy players, but I am sending all my best wishes to Leo!

Lady professional poker player from Spain is the first woman to make the final table in the WSOP main event since 1995. What a great achievement for her! I just wish it was still broadcast on ESPN so we can all watch it. I think is great for poker!

Cheering for her and hope she wins it's all. But if she doesn't win great accomplishment that will hopefully bring more women into playing poker. If she doesn't win I hope Grinder does.

Cheers!!!

Out in 7th. I’m sad for her and for poker. I wanted to see how the game might have changed.

Congrats, Leo!

Grinder is running absolutely insane wow. I was always wondering what makes him so good at live tournaments and I think now I know what his special ingredient to success is.
