Jake Cody is the Newest Member of Team PKR Pro

For the last week everyone on the poker circuit has been curious about the newest member to join the PKR Poker Pro team. The only clue given by the online room was that the new member was one of poker’s top players. Finally, the wait is over. PKR poker room has announced Jake Cody as its newest poker star.

Jake Cody – The Youngest Triple Crown Winner

When it comes to Jake Cody, ‘one of the game’s best players’ may be an understatement. The 23 year old professional poker player from Rochdale, UK is the youngest Triple Crown winner in the history of poker. Cody made his presence felt on the poker scene for the first time in 2010 by taking down the EPT Deauville Main event. This was his first major tournament title. In the later half of 2010 he earned a WPT title by winning the WPT London Main Event.

It was the WSOP bracelet won in $25k Heads Up Championship held in Las Vegas past summer that made him the youngest Triple Crown winner in the poker history. Cody managed to accomplish this feat at just 22 years of age. Apart from being the youngest winner, Cody also holds the record of winning the Triple Crown in the shortest period of time.

The PKR Rakeback website quoted Cody expressing his excitement at being a part of the team. He said that his patient wait for the right sponsorship to come his way had paid off and that he was very impressed with the entire PKR setup and their future plans. He added that PKR was a great website to be associated with and that he could be helpful in taking the site to the next level.
