By the time the UIGEA hit they had fallen from the largest room in the world to perhaps 5th or 6th and were still falling. The premise of this article was why they fell when back at the beginning of this decade they were far and away the leader in online poker. How / why did Party surpass them?

No mention of UIGEA? True they were not on pace with the top two by 2006 but they were still a competitive and growing business despite some mis steps. See Sportingbet's old annual reports for indication of performance. UIGEA killed the platform. 80%+ of their liquidity was from the US and they were owned by a PLC.
