US actor and comedian Kevin Hart has partnered with online gaming platform PokerStars, to help promote the game and introduce the site to new audiences.

Hart announced the news at a press conference in Monaco last weekend, during the PokerStars Championship, and commented 'I am going to make poker fun, and working with PokerStars will give me the poker platform I need to do this. 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'.
