PKR.com takes aim at WSOP

LONDON, England – (PRESS RELEASE) -- PKR.com, the world's most advanced poker room, has announced one of the most unique World Series of Poker* promotions in the history of the storied event.

"We're always looking for ways to innovate and bring more excitement to the game of poker - this promotion is no different. By giving players the chance to target their attack and compete in the World Series events of their choice we've generated a lot of excitement on PKR.com.", said PKR.com Cardroom Manager Neil Wright.

The jewel in PKR.com's WSOP* promotion crown is the Ultimate World Series Experience Package. At least five players will claim $12.5K prizes each which include $10K to spend on the World Series events of their choice and $2.5K to cover the cost of travel and expenses. Players can use the money to take on the Main Event, or spread their stake around in other World Series events of their choice.

PKR.com's other major innovation is the unveiling of Team PKR – a select group of specialists, chosen through qualifying tournaments on PKR.com, that will be sent to Las Vegas to compete in a variety of World Championship events. The aim is to establish PKR as a major player in the World Series.
