“Unfortunately the idea of Team PKR Pro—as it is now and has been for over six years—does not feature in the new business strategy,” said Dan “PKR Danski” Grant, Head of Content and PR on the PKR Forum.
“That’s not to say we won’t find other ways for grass roots poker players at PKR to step up to the big stage,” he added. “[It’s] just that we have done things one way for a long time and we need to step back, find news ways to achieve those goals.”
Grant said that PKR had not “supported or utilized” the Team Pros enough, “and that’s our bad.”
