The Welsh Wizard, Roberto Romanello, has signed an extension to his partypoker deal that will see him represent the online poker room through the 2017 World Series of Poker. Partypoker parent company GVC Holdings roll out mobile poker changes and strengthen casino team.

Talks of the five figure patch deals in the golden years of poker have surfaced this week thanks to Daniel Negreanu’s chat with Brain Balsbaugh on the Full Contact Poker Podcast. But not everyone was interested in the money.

Back in those days, a young Welsh lad by the name of Roberto Romanello turned up at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) desperate for a patch. It wasn’t about the money. It was about pride.

Full Tilt was the first to make his dreams come true. Mike Matusow has to take some credit after advising his employers that they would be wise to take a look at the lad from Gorseinon after this memorable hand.
