PKR players to get the chance to face off against poker
legends JC Tran, David 'Chino' Rheem, Nam Le and Quinn Do
London, November 25, 2008 - PKR are offering its 2.25 million players the
chance of a lifetime this Thursday night as poker legends JC Tran, Nam Le,
David 'Chino'
Rheem and Quinn Do take to the virtual felt in a special $10k guaranteed Asian
Poker Tour Pro Bounty.
The $22 buy-in event will take
place at 20:00 GMT on Thursday 27th November. As well as offering all
players a chance to scoop a share of the $10k prize pool, players who eliminate
Nam, Chino or Quinn will find themselves with a free shot at winning a $5k
package to play in the APT Manila (worth $270).
JC Tran is the #1 ranked player in
the ESPN-Bluff power rankings with over $6.8m in career tournament winnings. He
is one of a select few to have scooped both a World Series bracelet and a World
Poker Tour title. Over the past five years, JC has recorded a staggering 23
WSOP cashes (including seven final tables) and 11 WPT cashes (with five final
tables).
David 'Chino' Rheem was one of the November Nine who
made the historic 2008 Main Event final table. A fearless high stakes poker pro
and one of the most compelling characters in the game, Chino won $1.7m for his
seventh place finish together with several million more fans
Nam Le is one of the hottest
tournament players on the circuit, reaching final tables in some of the biggest
events around. An LA Poker Classic fourth (behind Ivey and friend Quinn Do), a Macau
High Roller victory and recent WPT Festa al Lago second have netted Nam more than
$1.8 million this year alone.
WSOP bracelet winner Quinn Do reached his first WPT final table earlier this
year, exiting honourably in second place for $909K behind Phil Ivey in the LA
Poker Classic. A third in the recent Macau High Rollers event won by friend Nam
Le increased the profile of this silent but deadly destroyer.
Not only will players be able to
rail the stars and ask questions, PKR will also be opening a special forum
Q&A during the event to provide another opportunity for players to ask
questions of their heroes.
JC Tran, Nam Le and Quinn Do are
official Ambassadors of the Asian Poker Tour (www.asianpt.com).
