Meanwhile, US-facing offshore operator Americas Cardroom on the Winning Poker Network (WPN) has announced the signing of Spanish poker pro Ana Marquez while Canadian pro Vanessa Kade stepped down from her role, citing personal reasons. Over in Europe, French operators Winamax and PMU have made changes to their line-ups, while previous shakeups at the start of the year included 888poker as well.
For partypoker, it wasn’t the first departure of the year, as several other long-time ambassadors, sponsored pros, and streamers said their goodbyes. At least half a dozen pros left the team. Among the high-profile players to leave after their contracts ran out were Ike Haxton, Mikita Badziakouski, Joao Simao, and Joni Jouhkimainen. Gross is the latest casualty as the number of official brand representatives has dipped below one dozen.
