PKR.com Promises to Make TV Stars of top Online Poker Players

Next-gen poker room PKR.com has announced ambitious moves into television that will see its innovative gameplay beamed into more than fifteen million homes across Europe.Airing nightly, the shows will feature in-game footage captured from the final tables of two of PKR.com’s most prestigious tournaments – the $100 buy-in $10,000 Guaranteed tournament taking place each Thursday and Saturday’s $60 buy-in ‘$20,000 Guaranteed TV Showdown’. Hopeful players can buy-in direct or qualify via satellite for as little as $2.

Taking its lead from popular real world poker broadcasts, PKR.com’s televised tournaments allow viewers to see all hole cards while listening to expert analysis provided by the PKR.com podcast team – host Colin Morris and commentators James ‘Jabbawa’ Bach and Dan ‘Danski’ Grant. PKR.com’s rich real-time 3D graphics, customisable player avatars and range of emotes all contribute to making this the most engaging, entertaining and watchable online poker programming ever seen.

“The chance to play poker on TV was traditionally the reserve of well bankrolled pro’s, but our televised tournaments now give players of all levels the chance to play in front of audiences across all of Europe” said PKR.com Marketing Director, Simon Prodger.

PKR.com’s televised tournaments will be available to viewers in the UK, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Malta. All broadcasts are also available for viewing online at the PKR TV channel on You Tube (http://uk.youtube.com/user/PKRTV).
