MARC ‘WASWINI’ BARILLER JOINS TEAM PKR PRO
London, June 16, 2010 – Marc ‘Waswini’ Bariller, one of the rising stars of French poker, has today been unveiled as the newest member of Team PKR Pro. The 23 year old poker pro from Montjean has been a high stakes regular on PKR.com for 3 years which has seen him spin up an initial $5 freeroll win into a six figure bankroll.
A popular member of PKR’s growing French community, Marc has also built a steady tournament poker resume winning The PKR Open, the PLO Super Series event and he won the PKR High Rollers for over $15,000. Marc is also one of the few to qualify for each of the four PKR Live festivals to date, and he has also won seats in both the APT and WSOP.
“Becoming part of Team PKR Pro was my ultimate goal on PKR” says Marc “It is amazing news. It’s the ultimate recognition in the PKR Community and nothing could make me happier. It’s with great pleasure that I join Team PKR Pro and its five crazy players!”
Marc will make his debut for Team PKR Pro at this year’s World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. “I will hopefully play in three or four events in Vegas, as well as the main event. I have to prove that I deserve this recognition and that I have something to bring to PKR. As it’s my first time in Vegas a final table in any event would be a huge result.”
PKR’s Marketing Manager Erika Schwartz adds, “It’s fantastic to welcome another great talent to the Team. Marc is living proof that the poker dream is alive and well, and shows just what’s possible with hard work, talent and bankroll management. We’re sure he’ll inspire a whole new generation of PKR players to try to emulate his achievement of building a six figure bankroll from nothing.”
