Key Takeaways
  • PKR has signed Patty Beaumier to represent the French arm of the site.
  • She is slated to represent the site at a number of live tournaments across Europe including the WSOPE.

Relatively unknown small-stakes grinder Patty Beaumier has recently been introduced as the new site ambassador for the French arm of UK-based online poker site PKR.

The 24-year old Masters student from the Graduate School of Journalism in Paris, who plays on the site under the screen name “BabyTes”, is slated to represent the site at a number of live tournaments across Europe as well as at the World Series of Poker Europe, which begins on October 11.

As to why they selected the small-stakes player, PKR CEO Malcolm Graham commented “Our sponsorship approach has largely been to unearth and support talent from our players’ ranks, and it’s important that those with potential at the lower stakes get the chance to shine.”

Beaumier originally started playing on the site in 2011 prior to getting signed and it’s expected that she will also be on hand when PKR holds their own $500 buy-in live event at London’s Aspers Casino in November.
