It’s no secret the site has been struggling for a while, but the Staples brothers have been stalwarts of the brand — out lasting all other ambassadors.
But we have spotted Matt Staples is streaming on WPT Global.
Does this mean his contract is up or just that Party doesn’t mind him streaming on competitor tables?
