PKR the 3D poker room has just announced the latest addition to their Team PKR Pro, Marc ‘Waswini’ Bariller a young online professional from France.

Bariller, who is only 23, started playing freerolls on PKR in February 2007, French laws prevented him from depositing money with his credit cards, but he has managed to build a bankroll from nothing and to date has collected over $75,000 through tournament winnings.

Bariller has clearly won a number of tournaments to amass such winnings; they include the $30 buy-in PKR Open ($3,456), the $25 buy-in PLO Super Series ($1,968), and the $500 buy-in PKR High Roller in January this year which won him his biggest prize so far of $15,260.
