David Kaye "Blown Away" by Impact of PokerStars US Player Pool Merging

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
David Kaye
David Kaye

American David Kaye spoke with PokerNews about his journey from a small-town Michigan poker player to becoming a poker player and PokerStars ambassador.

He also gave insight into the current poker scene in Michigan, and the potential of online poker in the state.
“We know the end goal isn't just two states,” he said. “Two states is great, but this is just the groundwork to get where we really want to be when we have all the states under one umbrella — or as many states as possible.”

There was an incredible start to the year with the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and PokerStars Players NL Hold’em Championship at the stunning Baha Mar Resort in The Bahamas.

And PokerStars Ambassador Nick Walsh says that things are heading in a really good direction when it comes to the live poker scene.

“The French — they absolutely love poker,” he told PokerNews. I'm expecting a very, very large event. Not just because of where live poker is right now, but I know it's been a while since we've had a stop close enough for the French to attend that wasn't Monte Carlo.”
