Leonard in Action in the High Roller Big Game
So far in the major events, Patrick Leonard's the only partypoker Pro in action.
He had moved above starting stack in the High Roller Big Game and was in a pot against Samuel Vousden.
On a 
turn, Vousden had bet 38,230 and Leonard raised in position to 119,000. Vousden called.
He then checked the 
river and Leonard bet 175,000 into a pot of 350,000.
Vousden check-raised all in for 550,000 and Leonard eventually folded.
Win Tournament Tickets in the partypoker Predator Hunt
Hunting down partypoker “predators” earns you $22 tickets to the site’s Daily Legends tournament sporting the same name.
The $22 Predator is one of the most popular tournaments on the Daily Legends schedule. It runs Monday through Saturday at 5:05 p.m. GMT and features a $30,000 guaranteed prize pool.
That in itself is worth playing in the Predator, but the Predator Hunt promotion adds even more value. Up to 19 specially selected “predators” will frequent The Predator during the week and these 19 stars have an extra bounty on their heads in addition to the tournament’s bounty.
