John Duthie, the founder of the European Poker Tour (and should be a Poker Hall of Fame member at some point) recently signed with partypoker to serve as President of their partypoker LIVE tournament series. Will be interesting with the merging of the PokerStars tours into Championships and Festivals if party can fill a void.

There are already several sites that are doing good stuff with live tournaments I think. 888Live, UnibetOpen, MPN Tour, etc... And all of these are also streamed on Twitch.
So I'm glad Party is also stepping up.

Defiantly good news, as their will 100% be a gap in the marketplace after stars dropped so many marquee events in favor of a more condensed schedule. Huge mistake by stars imo, EPT events were premier poker events.
