Hart announced the partnership in a hastily called press conference in Monaco over the weekend during the PokerStars Championship presented by Monte Carlo Casino®, one of poker's most prestigious live events, which is running until May 5.

Hart called the press conference on his Facebook late Friday night and enlisted Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu, who is the world's winningest poker player, to announce his plan to change the face of poker.

"I am going to make poker fun, and working with PokerStars will give me the poker platform I need to do this," Hart said. "I'm glad there are all these poker pros here who I can compete with and take their money. But the best thing about poker is that anyone can play it, whether you're making millions like Daniel Negreanu or just sitting around the kitchen table playing for coins."

"I'm not going to tell you yet how we're going to do it," Hart added. "But I have some great ideas for bringing poker to the people, while having fun."

Hart said he will leverage PokerStars marketing, live events and his own social media channels to promote the fun and social aspects of poker.
