Do you remember the new whizz-bang 3D poker site that we trumpeted back in Issue 4? Well PKR (www.pkr.com) is nearing completion and it’s just announced that Phil Laak and Jennifer Tilly are going to be the poker players behind the flashy visuals, playing in the PKR poker room and providing exclusive content for PKR’s players. The new technology and visuals behind the PKR site mean you’ll be playing against them in 3D, complete with gestures, chip-tricks and reallife tells.

We spoke to Jez San, president of PKR.com, who told us, ‘Phil and Jennifer are two of the most popular poker players in the world, and are a perfect fit for PKR. Their enthusiasm and love of the game is infectious, and we’re sure that our players will relish the opportunity to sit down at a table with them and play and interact as they would in the real world.’

You can check out the latest PKR stuff at www.pkr.com and sign-up for the beta test, which is due to start at the end of April.
