PKR.com has put together this team of poker talents after selecting some of the best and most impressive players from its own ranks. The six-man 'Team PKR Pro' includes British TV celebrity Ashley Hames (ashleyhames1), GUKPT winner Andrew Teng (PKR username 'golfpro699') and 2008 Irish Open finalist Kai Danilo Paulsen (kingkai84), along with PKR community favorites Raymond O'Mahoney (callmebabe), James Sudworth (James666) and PKR Live runner-up Henrik Eklund ('pokey85'). The profiles and biographies of each member of Team PKR are available in the Notes to Editors section.

'Team PKR Pro' will be exclusively sponsored by PKR and besides representing the site at some major tournaments in the region, the team will also serve as brand ambassadors at live events and provide a new content for the PKR.com website and PKR TV. All members of the team will also play regularly on the PKR Poker in both cash games and special bounty tournaments organized by the site.

"We've been following our initial 'Team PKR Pro' members for some time and are convinced that they all have the game and personality required to be genuinely world class poker players. They are also among the most recognised and respected players within the PKR community so are guaranteed to have over two and a half million people cheering them on every time they play." said Simon Prodger, PKR’s Marketing Director.
