PKR Live series ready for fourth installment

LONDON, England -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- With the fourth installment of the PKR Live series getting underway later this week, keen punters can now place bets on the Main Event with the new PKR sports betting service.

Team PKR Pro Kai 'kingkai84 Paulsen is pre-tournament favourite at 9/1 closely followed by fellow PKR Pro James 'james666' Sudworth who is available at 10/1. Braced for a flood of bets from players backing themselves to take the PKR Live crown, there has also been an early gamble on the newest member of Team PKR Pro Sofia 'welllbet' Lovegren, whose odds have now been cut from 20/1 to 16/1.

The last PKR Live Main Event was won by Vince 'vd12345' Diver who is a 20/1 shot to take a second title, whilst PKR's strong French community are likely to be supporting French favourites Marc 'waswini' Bariller and Remi 'shooye' Marlair who are both 16/1.

PKR Live IV takes place at the Loose Canon club in London from May 7-9 with an expected $100,000 prizepool up for grabs in the Main Event. All players taking part have qualified through the site with all seats now taken.

PKR Marketing Director Simon Prodger commented, "We are delighted to be able to offer our first poker betting market on the newly launched sportsbook and the fact that it is our own event makes it even better. The market has already been popular since being launched and we are expecting to see a lot of money staked over the coming week."
