PKR Introduce First Pro PKR Poker Team
April 17, 2009
PKR have this week annouced that they have signed 6 players to their professional poker playing team.
The 3d poker room has revealed that they have chosen 6 of their top players to represent the site, sponsoring them to travel to major live tournaments.
The six chosen players all have a reputation within the poker industry, with main event finishes to their name, making them an easy choice for the PKR team.
The players who have been chosen to represent the new generation poker room are :
Ashley Hames
Andrew Teng
Kai Danilo Paulsen
Raymond O’Mahoney
James Sudworth
Henrik Eklund
The chosen players won’t only represent the poker room at live events, they will also be placed into online tournaments and into games that will be covered on PKRtv.
This will enable the PKR owners to create new tournaments within their schedule, adding the likes of Bounty Tournaments and giving members of the site the opportunity to play real money ring games against the chosen few.
Marketing Director, Simon Prodger tells how the site have been considering making the move into a professional team for a while:
We’ve been following our initial ‘Team PKR Pro’ members for some time and are convinced that they all have the game and personality required to be genuinely world class poker players. They are also among the most recognized and respected players within the PKR community so are guaranteed to have over two and a half million people cheering them on every time they play.
The move to create the Team PKR Pro will be one that can only improve the name and reputation of the site, with many of the other leading poker rooms having professional teams, but featuring some of the biggest names in poker.
