Party Poker History
PartyPoker.com was started in August 2001 and has risen to fame in association with poker guru Mike Sexton. It is
known to be the biggest online multi-player poker room in the world and can play host to more than 35,000 players
simultaneously.
The web site offers a wide variety of poker games, such as Omaha Hi and Hi-Lo, 7 Card Stud Hi, Texas Hold'em, along
