Pokerstars to merge with BetFair?

So it seems. I was talking to PyeFacePoker today while playing Razz, and he said that this is his last day on PokerStars

I can't find anything absolutely certain, but it appears to be true.

This may be a network deal rather than a merger. Sharing tables or liquidity doesn’t automatically mean the companies are combining. Interesting if it happens, but the headline is a little ahead of the evidence right now.

It would be nice to have an official word from somebody.

Nothing will change with PokerStars at all just a bit more players from UK and that's it.

The player I spoke with seemed to believe that he would not be able to play on Pokerstars.com after the switch.

There is new client now for UK plyers but i cant play. Can you play guys from uk ?

They were a bit weak (PokerStars) the last few months, they completely removed stakes below $0.50 buyin. GL I hope the new leagues and games will look good to play
