Patrick Leonard has joined partypoker as an ambassador immediately vowing to do everything he can to try and help them become the best poker site in the world.

If there was ever a time for an online poker site to seek to overtake PokerStars as the market leader, that time is now. A fact not lost upon Patrick Leonard, who recently signed as an ambassador for partypoker in a bid to try and help them become the world’s top online poker room.

It’s an alliance that has come out of the blue. Two-time World Poker Tour (WPT) champion, Marvin Rettenmaier, left the partypoker stable at the back end of 2014, and Kara Scott left a few months after, leaving nothing but sawdust and sand.

In Nov 2015, partypoker announced a partnership with, Carl ‘The Cobra’ Froch, and revamped their entire tournament themes to align with the art of the World Champion pugilist. It seemed as if the focus would be more on celebrity than poker professionals moving into their latest reincarnation.
