partypoker continues their pursuit of the online and live poker room crown after appointing Jason Koon as an ambassador and giving him a seat on the newly formed Player’s Advisory Council.

There is a scene in James Cameron’s Avatar where the protagonist Jake Sully decides to attack the great leonopteryx Toruk Makto because it would be the last thing the king of the skies would expect. And that’s what I thought about this morning when I heard Jason Koon had signed for partypoker.

PokerStars is the metaphorical king of the skies; a beast that has ruled without fear of challenge. Life is changing for poker’s Toruk Makto. Partypoker may be a little hawk in flight, but they have the ariel advantage. PokerStars can’t see them coming.

When Mike Sexton joined partypoker back in May, he laid out a ten point plan that had to come to fruition for his longtime love to become the biggest live tournament operator in the world.
