Sofia "Welllbet" LovgrenPKR has announced the return of PKR Live next year for its seventh edition from March 29 to 31 at Aspers Stratford Casino, London.

Satellites for the $500 buy in main event begin on PKR.com on Tuesday December 18 with $800 packages up for grabs as well as a direct buy in option. A full side event schedule will also be available.

Team PKR pro Sofia “Welllbet” Lovgren said, “No other tournament is like PKR Live. The first time I attended was in March 2010, just after I turned 20 and signed as a Team PKR Pro. It was exciting to go there and meet players for the first time who you only knew through online avatars I’d played against every day for the last few years.

“There were certainly a few surprises, particularly guys who were using female avatars online! It was great to meet everybody in real life, play poker at a live table, party and have fun together. Aside from the software, it’s the social scene that sets PKR apart.

“PKR really knows how to throw a great party, and create the perfect atmosphere for live poker. Trust me, when you’ve been to PKR Live, you’ll always want to come back. It‘s been a while since the last one, so everyone is ready to make it something special. I have a feeling PKR Live 2013 will be the best yet, an outstanding weekend!”

Previous winners include Peter Angood, Karl Fenton, and Andy Sherwood.
