The former WSOP Main Event final tablist will join the site in the middle not only the WPT World Online Championships, but the partypoker EU network POWERFEST which runs until Wednesday, September 23rd.

Im thrilled and very excited to join the partypoker team," said Pollak. "Theyve supported players from the beginning and see the game as I do. I couldnt be happier to support them and be part of this great adventure."

Pollak will play under the name 'Magicdeal88' on partypoker, and is looking forward to taking to the tables as soon as possible. The partypoker EU POWERFEST will pay out a minimum guarantee of 5 million in France and 4.5 million in Spain. Just like with the POWERFEST on .com, there will be High Roller, Medium and Low tiers for players to partake in.

Pollak burst onto the global poker scene with a third place finish at the 2017 WSOP Main Event, which landed him a $3.5 million score. Pollak began playing poker in 2006 and then confidently progressed through the stakes, stating: I immediately felt that I was able to go far. With hindsight, it may be because I had spent 10 years in magic and I was therefore used to cards and bluffing. Poker was a revelation. I felt it was made for me.

With almost $13m in life time earnings, Pollak sits second on the French all-time money list behind former partypoker Ambassador Betrand Grospellier. Pollak says he is keen to remind people that poker remains as fun as when he first started playing back in 2006, before swiftly progressing through the stakes.
