Jake Cody signs with PKR.com

A few years ago, the name Jake Cody wouldn't have meant much to anyone already involved in the game. With the American contingent of pros feeling the heat, pros outside of the US are taking advantage of new opportunities and the lucrative sponsorship deals that comes along side. UK pro Jake Cody was this week added to the books of PKR, as their most recent addition.

PKR Poker is one of a kind and has led the way in terms of 3D graphics - graphics that are quite literally in a league of their own. PKR have steadily built up their book of pros associated to the site and Jake Cody joins an already elite list of names such as Vladimir “Beyne” Geshkenbein (APPT Champion), Scott “PKR_Scott” Shelley, Marc “Waswini” Barillier, Sofia “wellbet” Lovgren and cash game specialists Sascha “Iocodice” Walter and James “james666” Sudworth.

PKR marketing director Simon Prodger was very excited on adding another poker sensation to team PKR. “We’re delighted to welcome Jake to Team PKR. He is the future of poker, a perfect example of the new breed of players who are taking the game to new heights. We’re really excited that PKR’s players will have the opportunity to interact with Jake and benefit from his insight and experience.”

On putting pen to paper, Jake stated he was very excited to join Team PKR. He went on to say; “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.”
