PKR has announced the "Lovestruck Evenings" freeroll tournament.

This tournament is a partnership between the Lovestruck dating network and PKR Poker. The premier event is to be held November 17, 2008 at 8pm.

The online weekly singles poker nights will be played at the PKR Poker online poker room. These online events are very appropriately being called the ‘Lovestruck Evenings’. The first of the Lovestruck Evenings is scheduled for the 17th of November at 8pm with a freeroll tournament. This will be followed by three more low buy-in events.

Players desirous of participating in these will have to be registered on both PKR Poker and Lovestruck. They will be given a password, which they will have to enter in order to gain access to the tournament. Everyone in the online poker fraternity must surely have heard of PKR Poker. Perhaps Lovestruck may not be as familiar. Lovestruck is an online dating site that matches single professionals to others who work in the same vicinity. This enables urban singles across the United Kingdom to meet for coffee, lunch or after-work dates and check out if love blossoms.

Of Lovestruck Evenings at PKR Poker Lovestruck Managing Director, Brett Harding, said, “We’re always looking at innovative ways to bring our time-strapped members together. By forming an alliance with PKR, we’ll be providing a quality poker experience that we know our discerning single professionals will appreciate.” Online poker players who think that love and poker do not mix only need to check out some of the celebrity poker couples. Jennifer Tilly was a professional actor and an amateur poker player who met poker professional Phil Laak during a World Poker Tournament in 2004. Incidentally Laak won the tournament but lost his heart to Jennifer. Today under Laak’s tutelage Jennifer is doing fabulously well on the poker circuit.

Poker has brought David Benyamine and Erica Schoenberg together. And Marco Traniello has become so enamored of poker after marrying professional Jennifer Harman that he sold his thriving salon business to concentrate on poker full time.
