Innovative online poker site, PKR.com, has announced that the British character and TV presenter, Ashley Hames, has been selected to represent PKR’s brand at the Gala Casinos British Poker Tour held from December 1st to 7th in Bristol, England. The GCBPT is one of the most popular and exciting poker events in the United Kingdom, attracting hundreds of players from all over Europe. The 2008 GCBPT Grand Final will return to Bristol for an entire week of action in where players will battle for a share of the £400,000 total prize pool and the Great British Poker Champion title.

Hames, who will be representing PKR at the event, became a famous TV character for his popular show “Sin Cities”, in where he and his crew toured the world looking for the most bizarre and kinky spots in several cities around the world. Hames is also a enthusiastic poker player and PKR TV commentator, he remains excited about representing PKR.com at the £1,500 buy-in event saying, "I'm going to Bristol to take this tournament down! I can't wait to hit the felt and take on some of the UK finest players."

Hames will have the opportunity to match JC Tran’s recent achievements representing PKR Poker, but in a much lower scale. Only a few days ago, Tran took down the third edition of the PartyPoker.com Premier League representing PKR, the APT ambassador wore PKR branded clothing for the whole event and also made a guest appearance on PKR.com alongside Nam Le, Chino Rheem and Quinn Do in a special APT Pro Bounty tournament.
