PKR Poker Review

This Sunday will see PKR celebrating their second birthday in style.

Since its inception, PKR has become the fastest growing online poker site in the UK. Six months ago the online poker room announced that it had served 10,000 players simultaneously for the first and the growth has continued since then.

As way of a celebration, PKR will be handing out a few presents:

• Three  special freerolls will be hosted. Each one will have a prize pool of $500 to be won.
• Ten bounty tournaments will run throughout the day with each player trying to take down opponents in order to win some pretty impressive cash prizes.
• Those of you looking to enter more tournaments for free (or maybe even pick up a few pieces of PKR merchandise from the shop!) will be pleased to hear that players will earn double PKR points between 15.00 and 19.00 GMT.

All in all, Sunday should be a pretty good day. PKR have come a long way in a very short space of time and if they keep growing at this rate, then next year’s birthday could be even more spectacular!

The amount of cash up for grabs in PKR’s regular tournaments are increasing with immediate effects … which can only be good news for those of us who are regular players.

The monthly prize fund is increasing to a guaranteed $2.5 million. That means that the prize pool for the PKR open has gone up to $12,500 (from $10,000) and the $4,000 guaranteed daily has been replaced with a $7,500 Guaranteed ‘Grand Prix.’

The best news though is that the buy in amounts for all these tournaments remain the same.

PKR have just launched their own TV channel where real-life members will battle it out for large cash prizes while being watched by an online and offline audience.

The PKR Masters is PKR’s biggest tournament and only comes around once a month. Satellites starting at $3.30 are already in full swing and offer players a great way to make the final table without having to stretch their bankroll.

In fact last month’s winner (floyd07) qualified through a satellite and then continued to go all the way, taking home an impressive $23,062.

PKR have announced they will be giving away their largest ever cash prize when the PKR Masters tournament starts shortly.

The winner will receive at least $18,000 as a first prize although that may well increase depending on the number of players who enter.

Speaking of which, a Mega-Satellite for the PKR Masters will be held on Friday with a buy in of $30. PKR are guaranteeing 25 players from this satellite a seat in the final tournament and a shot at the big money.

If $30 sounds too much of a commitment for you, regular satellites have already started from as little $3.30

The $50,000 guaranteed is back on PKR.

This Saturday night sees the return of the big one which will see the winner walkaway with over $12,000. Players can buy in direct to the final table for $100 or alternatively those with a smaller bank roll can work their way up via satellite tournaments starting from jusr $2.18.

PKR have introduced a new tournament structure which combine the convenience of Sit & Go’s with the big cash payouts of MTT’s … and they’re called Phase tournaments.

Phase tournaments consist of five levels with the buy-in starting at $3.60 for phase one and rising to $160.00 for the final phase. Players can join the tournament at any time they chose, although cash is only paid out after the final level.

If you finish at the top end of your level, then you get promoted to the next level. What’s great though is that even if you finish in the middle of the field, you get to give that same level another go for no additional cost!

Make it all the way to the top end of the fifth phase and you’ll be walking away with $700. You’ll get $200 just for finishing fourth.

It’s a great way for new players to get into online poker. And for those of you who aren’t signed up to PKR yet, check out our PKR Bonus Codes to ensure that you get yourself extra cash to play with.

See you at the tables!
