partypoker and Dusk Till Dawn will officially launch their new partnership with the partypoker branded Grand Prix Million and an ambitious shot at attracting 10,000 entrants.

“Keep the faith with me and please be patient and constructive.” Rob Yong on his partnership with partypoker.

Dusk till Dawn (DTD) owner Rob Yong is a smart man. He has one finger on the pulse of the UK poker scene. He knows that there is dissension in the ranks of the online grinding community when it comes to their presence on partypoker.

But he also has foresight.

He has faith.

Yong’s three-year deal with partypoker is a deal he has made because he believes it’s going to work.

‘Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither was DTD,” Yong wrote on his blog, “It was two years and £2m of delay costs before the government would even let us open our doors, but even the most opinionated poker player in the UK would struggle to say that DTD has not delivered exactly what the UK Poker Community ordered.”
