Daniel ‘danshreddies’ O’Callaghan joins Team PKR after becoming the first player in history to make back-to-back final tables of PKR Live Main Events.

27-year old Daniel O’Callaghan has been signed to represent PKR Team Pro after winning the 2015 PKR Live London Main Event for £19,000. The Hartlepool native, who plays under the pseudonym danshreddies, became the first player to make back-to-back PKR Live Main Event final tables in late March. His signing has been made public in the past few days.

O’Callaghan defeated 280 players at the PKR Live Main Event at Aspers casino in Stratford. In 2014, he was runner-up to Jeff Kimber in the same event. He has now earned over $50,000 in live tournament earnings, with those two PKR Live Main Event finishes resulting in his two best scores.

PKR has not signed him because of his live tournament prowess. That’s not the way they do business. What I love about PKR is how they look after their own. O’Callaghan has been a loyal servant at PKR since 2008. He has earned over $150,000 in online tournament winnings, and is a regular contributor to their PKR strategy section. He also has his own Twitch channel.
