Team PKR Pro Signs England’s Scott Shelley as Newest Acquisition
Team PKR Pro has always been renowned as one of the finest collections of professional players in the game and now, with their most recent signing, their positive reputation is set to continue. London, England’s Scott Shelley has become the newest member of PKR.com’s group of brand representatives and looks to bring substantial talent and future potential to the line-up.
Shelley, a 24 year old player and previous employee of PKR.com, has garnered attention recently for his outstanding performance at live tournaments like the World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE). Most recently, Shelley outlasted 581 competitors at the WSOPE’s £1,075 buy-in no-limit hold’em event, cashing £133,857, earning a WSOPE bracelet and, perhaps most importantly, catching the attention of Team PKR Pro. Now he has been promoted from his old position as PKR.com customer service representative to that of a full-time poker professional. A regular competitor in both online and live games, Shelley has established an impressive reputation, even taking down notable pros like Phil Ivey, JP Kelly and Phil Hellmuth thus far in his career.
Shelley is set to make his debut as a sponsored player at PKR.com’s upcoming London Calling festival and will continue his sponsorship with Team PKR Pro at November’s PKR Live V. PKR.com site members will be able to share in the celebrations as the online poker platform prepares to launch a week of special promotional events tied in with Shelley’s acquisition.
