In this week’s poker news round up we remind you that Fedor Holz joined partypoker, the StreamBoat 2 remains moored thanks to Hurricane Irma, and much more.

Let’s insert the tape, rewind to the beginning, and start with as much news from partypoker as we can muster.

Patrick Leonard has convinced Fedor Holz to join the partypoker revolution. The German superstar told the press he would: “never partner with a company that was not committed to looking after or listening to the players.”

There have been a lot of great additions to the partypoker squad in the past 12-months but the signing of one of the hottest players on the planet is further evidence that the players are beginning to believe the hype pumped out of the beat box by the likes of John Duthie, Mike Sexton, Rob Yong, and Tom Waters.
