PKR Live IV

Next-gen online poker room PKR.com have announced the return of its PKR Live event at the Loose Cannon Club in London between May 7 and 9. Players will have the opportunity to put faces to usernames and aliases, competing in a friendly environment either at the $500 Main Event or $150 side event.

Proceedings kick off with the now customary poker party on Friday 7, with the cards in the air the following morning. The event’s popularity is second to none and seats are sure to be like gold dust. There are daily $150 +$12 satellites (except Thursday and Sunday) but for those with smaller bankrolls sub-qualifiers are running from just $5. All PKR Live satellite winners will receive event packages covering buy-ins for both events and $550 in expenses.

Team PKR Pro and PKR Live II champion Karl ‘discomonkey’ Fenton adds, ‘No amount of blogs, posts or pictures can really put into words what this weekend means 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 this kind of weekend.’

Londoner Vincent ‘vd12345’ Diver emerged victorious in the last PKR Live, taking home the title and $33,500 first prize – made all the more remarkable as he won his seat through a $5 satellite.

With the buy-in reduced from $1,000 to $500, there are sure to be plenty of amateurs in amongst the pros battling for chips and leverage. This looks to be one of the best value live tournaments of the year so make sure you secure your seat now.
