David Kaye

David "DavidKayePoker" Kaye, who joined PokerStars in November of 2022, already has two titles and several final tables in the USCOOP, and it's taking his live stream to the next level.

Kaye is one of the early standouts in a series that has gained traction since online poker markets in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New Jersey opened up for play on PokerStars. The ambassador has been a standard bearer for the brand, and he’s enjoying every minute of it.

He streams regularly, and the COOP schedule allows him to present wall-to-wall action to his growing set of fans. He will be playing all 18 days of the USCOOP — 75 of the 77 no-limit hold’em events on the schedule.

“Even as a cash game player, the prestige of COOP as well as the excitement that the series generates is something I always love being a part of,” Kaye said in a recent interview.
