PKR – 3 Years, 3 Million Players and PKR Live III
September 1, 2009
On August 17, 2006 a new idea in online poker was born in the poker site PKR – the first 3-D online poker experience. Three years later, PKR marks its 3rd birthday with some exciting milestones and bonuses.
First the milestone: At just about PKR’s 1st birthday, they hit 1 million players; at just about their 2nd birthday, they hit 2 million players; and this year they get to continue that tradition having surpasses 3 million players within one day of their 3rd birthday.
Now the bonus: It’s PKR Live III, the third installment of PKR’s singular live poker series each year. PKR Live III will take place at London’s Loose Cannon Club starting on November 20, and it will last for three days.
On Day 2 of the series, the PKR Poker Live 3 Main Event will take place, a $1,500 buy-in event with a 1st prize of $40,000. The player pool will be capped at 150 players. On Day 3 of the series, a PKR Bounty Tournament is scheduled, a $200 buy-in event with a guaranteed $30,000 prize pool, on top of additional cash bounties earned by knocking certain PKR pros out of the running.
Last year’s winner of the $20,000 main event grand prize was Philip Conneller, the features editor for Bluff Europe.
Also they have a new upgraded version of the 3d poker software over at PKR. If you haven’t seen it yet, you really should go check it out. It’s the latest in three-dimensional virtual online poker, with an impressively realistic Las Vegas feel surpassing all others.
