Managing Director Tom Waters seems to be steering partypoker in the right direction, as reflected in its impressive performance both in the online and live tournament events. The figures recorded by partypoker contributed to the 15 percent total revenue growth experienced by GVC\u2019s online division.<\/p>\n<p>partypoker\u2019s 2018 calendar was jam packed with as many as 10 multi-million dollar tournament series slated between January and December 2018.
