The word on the street:
"To say that the tournaments were the most important part of the weekend would do no justice to everything else. Thanks again for a great weekend! I felt like having a smile on my face for the whole weekend and that even included the times when I had a hangover..." - zlicker
"PKR Live is better than sex!" - eyesofgreen
"No amount of blogs, posts or pictures can really put into words what this weekend has meant to those who really love the community and friendly ethos of our site. Plenty of other poker sites exist, but none are able to match the kind of weekend we've just had the pleasure of taking part in - its amazing what can happen when everyone chips in and does their bit for the collective good" - Team PKR Pro & PKR Live II champion discomonkey
