is currently rated as the number one player in Europe by

heat as a special guest at the PartyPoker.com Premier League IV at the
M Resort in Las Vegas.
Though he didn’t make it through the play-off stages, PartyPoker.com were suitably impressed to sign him to their ranks. He joins Mike Sexton, Tony G, Kara Scott, Ian Frazer, Felipe ‘Mojave’ Ramos, Bodo Sbrzesny and Remy Biechel in Team Party.
Galic is a 35-year-old Croatian/German from Schneverdingen, near Hamburg and has over $900,000 in live tournament winnings and a great online record.

He was a service engineer for BMW before hanging up his overalls to become a professional poker player in 2006. He set the basis for his Poker Career by reaching 14 times (Sundays) in a row the Final Table at local tournaments in Hamburg.
Dragan said: “After spending time with the other members of Team Party in Vegas I am delighted to join. PartyPoker.com was the very first site I played on so in many ways it feels like coming home.

Mike Sexton invaded popular US culture this week as he was quoted in James Hibberd's The Live Feed column in The Hollywood Reporter. In a piece about top chat show host Conan O'Brien's fight with NBC, Hibberd stated:
The prospect of O'Brien going to the top-rated Fox is like what "World Poker Tour" commentator Mike Sexton says during a tournament whenever a card player loses chips to a talented pro: "You don't want to put fire into that dragon."
PartyPoker.com ambassador Mike Sexton welcomed Dragan to Team Party by saying: “Dragan is a fantastic all round player. I have sat on the table with him - you don’t want to put fire into that dragan!�?
Tony G said: “Dragan is a great guy and I welcome him on board – the guy’s a winner. One things for sure, he don’t need a bike!�?
