PKR signs Jake Cody

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 20:44:00 -0500

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.

Enet Poker Network Review

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 01:50:00 -0500

EnetPoker network has been around for some time but previously not available to non Italian players - now Rakebrain have secured the possibility of playing at ENET through No Pro Poker!

"As it is an Italian network and not many other players know about it you will not believe the crazy cash table action, even when you see it with your own eyes!"

The enet poker network is now open to everyone (apart from US players) and by so the poker network is by far the easiest place to earn money. Imagine it is filled up by Italian players splashing the money into the pots and no US grinders! I.e. if you are a decent player, or simply if you have watched one or two of Drag the bar videos available here at Rakebrain you should win lots of easy money on the EnetPoker network - at No Pro Poker.

No Pro Poker is one of the largest Enet poker network sites and Rakebrain can now offer:
- 100% bonus up to 600 euro
- 50 Euro as VIP reward after the first 500 euro in rake have been gathered
- And...not only can you become staked, (vip@rakebrain.com) up to 50%, but also earn VIP equivalent sponsor payments "monthly", talk to us at (vip@rakebrain.com).

Another option is to play through Poker in Venice also offering ENET and at the same time 3 other networks!

Dear Rakebrain qualifiers,

We've like to inform you that the final WSOP qualifying tournament on Cake will be delayed to Sunday the 19th at 1500EST as we we did not yet get all Cake nicknames from the 42 qualifying members due to the recent change from Carbon to Cake. It would be a unacceptable for any of the qualifiers to miss out on the tourney for this reason so we decided this was the best option. Keep in mind you do not need to have deposited on your Cake account however you will have to have filled in all your Account details to use the ticket you will receive.

To confirm it will play on the 19th of June at 1500EST. If you have any questions please let us know at support@rakebrain.com.
