PKR, the online 3D poker room, recently announced their new online professional poker team. PKR has never had a sponsored poker pro team so this is the first time the poker room will have pros to send to live events. PKR has signed six players to their team and they recently went to an event in London. The members of the team are up and coming in the poker world and have been seen at the PKR poker room on a regular basis.
Each player added to the first ever PKR.com team brings something to the table. Some are well known and others may never have been heard of but have shown great knowledge in the game of poker. The six players signed to the team are: Henrik Eklund, Ashley Hames, Raymond O’Mahoney, Kai Paulsen, James Sudworth and Andrew Teng.
Teng, known online as ‘Golfpro699, appeared at the GUKPT earlier this year and outlasted the field at the Thanet leg of the tour to take the win. Sudworth also made the GUKPT final table earlier this year and is one of the newest young poker players to hit the scene.
New team member Kai “KingKai84” Paulsen has seen the most live game play success on the team. Paulsen is from Norway and he has an impressive tournament record including fifth place at the Irish Open last year. Ashley Hames is known more as a television personality instead of poker play. Hames is a writer, television presenter and for working on the Sin Cities show. Hames has been playing poker at the Vic for many years.
Henrik “Pokey85” Eklund is from Sweden and loves the High Stakes games. Eklund played well at the APT Manila as well as finishing second in the first ever PKR live event last year. The last player on the new PKR team is Raymond “callmebabe” O’Mahoney and he is a cash player at the high stakes tables and made the final table at the live PKR tournament last year.
