Padraig Parkinson Becomes partypoker’s Face in Ireland

Partypoker has continued to grow its stable of professional players and ambassadors by signing Irish poker legend Padraig Parkinson to represent the brand in Ireland.

Born in Galway, Ireland, Parkinson is one of the more prominent players hailing from the Emerald Isle and one of the most popular thanks to his love for recalling the many poker and non-poker stories from his exploits around the world.

Regaling and entertaining the masses aside, Parkinson is a successful poker player who has almost $1.8 million in live tournament winnings and is also a dab hand at cash games, particularly pot-limit Omaha.
