Scott Shelley becomes Team PKR Pro’s first bracelet winner



PKR announced today that Home grown poker sensation Scott Shelley is to be the newest member of Team PKR Pro. The 24 year old from North London is the first member of Team PKR Pro to win a coveted World Series of Poker bracelet.

A regular live and online poker player, Shelley started at PKR 4 years ago as part of the Customer Services team. In 2009, after winning a staff championship, he played in his first ever £1k event at the WSOPE*, coming a credible 75th. Entering this year’s £1k No Limit Hold’em event, he beat a field of 582, including legends Phil Hellmuth, Tom Dwan, and Phil Ivey to take the top spot and £133,857. Shelley is a popular member of the PKR community, many of whom came to support him in his heads-up battle with defending champion JP Kelly.

Scott Shelley commented, “The last two weeks have been life changing and joining Team PKR Pro has been the icing on the cake. It is a privilege and an honour to join the likes of the current team members and I can’t wait to start representing PKR at future events!”

Shelley will make his first live debut at the forthcoming PKR presents London Calling festival and will then join fellow members of PKR Team Pro at PKR Live V in November. “I’m looking forward to showing PKR and its community what I can do” continues Shelley, “I aim for some more big wins, and most importantly increasing my bracelet collection.”

PKR’s Marketing Director, Simon Prodger adds, “It’s fantastic to welcome another member to PKR Team pro, especially a PKR staff member, and PKR’s first bracelet winner. It was a no-brainer and we are excited to see what will be next for Scott. He is a true inspiration to all our players. Watch this space.”

To celebrate Shelley’s arrival to the team, PKR will hold a Scott Shelley themed week from October 18th 2010, where players will get the chance to win a $1,200 PKR Live V package, along with buy-ins to London Calling, and $500 Heads-Up tournaments.

Ladbrokes Irish Poker Festival top prize goes to Sweden

Ladbrokes Poker arrived back in Killarney for the 2010 Irish Poker Festival this weekend and the town was overrun with 632 players all looking to take home the top prize and enjoy the atmosphere.

Following 3 intense days of play and 622 players later the final 10 was reached. There were some shock early exits as a number of favourites failed to make the second day. But in the end London based Swede Lars Torngren was crowned the Ladbrokes.com Irish Poker Festival Champion 2010 and took home the €75,000 top prize.

Going into the final table was:
Richard Connoly, Isle of Man, 360k
Valerie McGrath, Ireland, 800k
Lars Tornson, London, 1.7million
Paul Lucey, Ireland, 402k
Allen Mc Clean, Dublin, 720k
John Kalmer, 1.81million
Mark Coyne, Ireland, 1million
Barry McGleenon, Ireland, 1.5million
Brian Murphy, Ireland, 680k
Paul Vermigo Kerry Ireland 564k

Ladbrokes’ pro Jon “Skalie” Kalmer was the early favourite and chip leader going into the final table but came unstuck when he walked straight in to Lars’ Pocket Queens against his AJ. He immediately hit an Ace on the flop but the Queen on the turn sealed Skalies’ fate and he was out in fourth for €20,000.

The night ended with a 3 way all-in much to the excitement of the crowd, first Barry pushed on his button with J5 off which was insta-called by Lars’ in the Small blind with Pockets sixes, Paul also came along for the ride calling with A7. Lars’ sixes held up crowning him champion.

Irishman Paul Lucey finished 2nd winning €50,000 with fellow countryman Barry McGleenon finishing 3rd winning €30,000.

Lars Tornson said, “I was really impressed with the structure of this event. I have been playing poker for about 8 years and this is my first big tournament win so I am absolutely delighted. I am already looking forward to next year’s Ladbrokes poker festival.”

Kate McLennan Head of Ladbrokes Poker said, “It has been another fantastic year in Ireland. The Ladbrokes.com Irish poker festival keeps getting better and we are delighted for Lars he was a worthy winner. All eyes are now on the Poker cruise in January which is already shaping up to be one of the best yet.”

Ladbrokes Poker has thousands of real money players online simultaneously, and many more who play on the free tables. It operates on the Microgaming Poker network.

Ladbrokes Poker offers cash games, tournaments, and qualification for exciting offline events such as the Ladbrokes Poker Cruise IV, and the Ladbrokes.com Irish Poker Festival.
