Calling The Clock: the good and the bad of partypoker; Jesus bracelet win

Another quick round of poker news action including two sides of the partypoker coin, the sixth bracelet for Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson, and a busy week for the High Rollers.

It’s been a week of contrasting fortunes for partypoker.

The online poker room looked like they were capable of waltzing through a minefield at the beginning of the week. The team ended PokerStars’ three-year stranglehold on the EGR Poker Operator of the Year award, announced plans to launch a dedicated poker Tv channel on Sky, and partnered with the Fitzwilliam Casino & Card Club in Dublin.

And then suddenly they were in the middle of a fart-filled crowded elevator, and everyone was staring in their direction.
