Poker Stars to Sell Up

[Robby Box]

Who is favourite to snap this up?

I would think William Hill, Coral or Ladbrokes would be up there. Times Article here

Do any of those companies actually have enough money to purchase PS?

Nah, not necessarily. If it is bought by a company who does not have a poker room today they will probably let Pokerstars run as it does. The risk is that it will be bought by a running [censored] poker/casino site like 888. Then you will have a lot of miserable managers using Pokerstars to prove that their [censored]-up ideas are successful for larger pokerrooms too. Then it won't be the largest for long.

sounds like bad, bad news to me. lets hope the buyer has the sense to keep Lee Jones and the support team (no outsourcing to India!)
