PKR signs Jake Cody

London, November 17, 2011 – Next-generation online poker room PKR.com has today unveiled triple crown winning superstar Jake Cody as the latest addition to its team of sponsored players.

With over $3m in lifetime earnings, 22-year-old Cody is already one of the most accomplished poker players in the world. He is the youngest of poker‟s four triple crown winners, having added a World Series of Poker bracelet to his EPT and WPT titles. Even more remarkable was the speed in which he won his triple crown which was completed in an unprecedented 520 days.
Cody famously deposited just $10 online when he first discovered poker and has subsequently turned his initial investment into a fortune. After winning four major live titles and countless other online tournaments, Cody finds himself in the vanguard of European poker having proved himself at the highest levels of the game.

“I‟m very excited about joining Team PKR Pro” said Cody. “I‟ve been patient with sponsorship, waiting for the right deal to come along. When I spoke to PKR I was really impressed with the whole setup and the ideas that they have going forward, and I knew straight away I wanted to be part of it! It‟s a great site to be involved with right now and I think I can help take it to the next level.”

In addition to representing PKR in the biggest poker tournaments across the world, Cody will provide content for PKR‟s growing media offering and contribute to the renowned PKR Community. The young British star will also encounter PKR‟s players for the first time at the virtual felt on Sunday night when he takes his seat as a bounty in two Bounty Day tournaments.
Cody becomes the seventh member of Team PKR Pro and joins a group of young stars who have risen through the ranks of PKR‟s player community to win APPT, WSOP and EPT titles. His new colleagues include EPT champion Vladimir „Beyne‟ Geshkenbein, Sofia „welllbet‟ Lovgren, Marc „Waswini‟ Bariller, Sascha „locodice‟ Walter, James „james666‟ Sudworth and WSOP Europe bracelet holder Scott „PKR_Scott‟ Shelley.
