Key Takeaways
- With cash game traffic reported in January at 1630 players, the shared player pool stays slightly higher than the sum of the individual Spanish and French player pools pre-merger.
- “The combination of the two [French and Spanish poker markets] will make it easier to quickly find a game, produce bigger tournament prize pools, and potentially award life-changing money more often,” said Severin Rasset, PokerStars’ Director of Poker Innovation and Operations.
- Non-resident players in Spain and France can now register an account on PokerStars’ Spanish site to play in games on the newly formed Southern European player pool.
PokerStars has added five new stops to its live circuit over the spring and summer months under the MEGASTACK and Festival brands.
Headed back to tried and tested destinations such as Dublin, London, Marbella, Lille and Gujan-Mestras, the live schedule seems to lean towards supporting the newly created online Southern European shared player pools of Spain and France. There will be two stops in France (June and July) and one in Spain.
