Sam Grafton joins PartyPoker Tour as bold new ambassador

Sam Grafton has been named the latest PartyPoker Tour Ambassador. The announcement comes as the brand continues to expand its team of high-profile poker representatives. Grafton, known for his bold personality, now joins a roster that includes well-known players and streamers. Grafton steps into the role alongside established ambassadors like Isaac Haxton, Jaime Staples, and Matt Staples. The Staples siblings remain active on Twitch, while Haxton maintains his status as a top professional. Niall Farrell, who joined in 2025, has also contributed to live events, adding depth to the team.

The new ambassador has never shied away from strong opinions. He once declared ham and pineapple the worst pizza topping. His quirks extend beyond foodβ€”he avoids drinking glasses of milk and insists on having enough chairs in his living room for himself. Even more boldly, he claims he could take on a gorilla in a fist fight. Meanwhile, fellow poker player Sam Acheampong exited early on Day 1b of the Β£500 Main Event. The bust-out contrasts with Grafton's new ambassador role, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the game.

Grafton's appointment adds another dynamic personality to the PartyPoker Tour team. His mix of humour and confidence is expected to bring fresh energy to the brand's events and promotions. The ambassador programme continues to feature a blend of elite players and engaging content creators.
