Team PKR Pro update: golfpro699's weekend by the sea

News and upcoming tournaments for the Team PKR Pros

This weekend, three pros head to the scene of golfpro699's 2008 GUKPT victory as Kai hits the souks at the WPT Marrakech...

This weekend's Grosvenor UK Poker Tour event in the glam old seaside region of Thanet (best known for Margate) sees golfpro699 return for a defence of his title. This time last year, the Londoner won £68,000 ($111,000), beating a field of 228 to take down the £1,000 ($1,633) Main Event. Two other Team PKR Pros join him on the East Coast for their shot at a first major title...

On the tournament trail...


	golfpro699 Andy won his first title in this event last year and is no doubt keen to repeat. A man who knows what it takes, look for him to go far...
	discomonkey Karl headed south early for the prelims, though an ugly runner runner busted him from the £300 ($490) side event 31st of 73 runners. Though times have been tough for the Doncaster resident, who on Wednesday exclaimed "maybe I will run good before I die!" this may be the weekend he picks up his second trophy.
	james666 Fresh from his $40K fourth place finish in the Heads Up Grand Slam, James returns to his home town with high hopes of victory. He chats about his chances, the Grand Slam and taking on Phil Ivey, in this week's Jabba & Danski Show.
	kingkai84 After his trip to the APT Macau last month, the Norwegian headed out for another poker adventure last week, flying to surely one of the most exotic poker destinations in the world - Marrakech. Kai began his assault on the €4,500 ($6,700) World Poker Tour Main Event yesterday. Keep up with his progress here.
	zlatan35 Reigning APT champion Adrien takes on the locals at the Casino d'Evian Les Bians poker festival (25-30 Oct, €2,200 ($3,271) Main Event), hoping for better luck than during his recent EPT London expedition. We wish our new French recruit the very best of luck, and look forward to officially welcoming him at PKR Live III.
	pokey85 Henrik drew a blank at the World Series of Poker Europe, but back on home soil, he feels good to go deep in the $5,700 Swedish Open Poker Championship at Stockholm's Cosmopol Casino which began on Friday. GL sir...
	callmebabe Ray headed to Killarney for the Ladbrokes Irish Poker Festival's €500 ($743) Main Event on 02 October but was unable to make a score. Check out the Team PKR Pro forum debate on an interesting hand in that event.
