Severin Rasset Talks PokerStars in US: $1M GTD Weekly, Nevada Update & Live Event Return

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Severin Rasset
Severin Rasset

n case you didn��t know, PokerStars is back in the United States. It actually has been for quite some time in New Jersey as well as in Michigan and Pennsylvania, though each was a segregated market. At the start of the New Year, PokerStars hit the ground running by becoming the first online operator to merge their NJ and MI player pools, instantly making it the largest online poker network in the US.

One man responsible for making that happen was Managing Director of North America for PokerStars Severin Rasset, who helped usher in a similar liquidity merge in Europe.

��We had similar things happening in Portugal, which was operating as a closed liquidity for a while,�� he explained. ��Portugal has about 14 million inhabitants. So, very similar to the size of New Jersey or Pennsylvania. Then Portugal joined with Spain, which was a big, dynamic change to the market.��

He added: ��I've been through quite a lot of these changes in the regulatory and so just using this experience while getting the most out of the team in the US and plugging my experience in with their expertise and their own experiences, I think we're gonna have a really good mix.��

Rasset recently spoke to PokerNews at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) in the Bahamas about recent developments concerning PokerStars US including the reveal that they��re offering $1 million in guarantees each week, updates on Pennsylvania and Nevada, and the potential return of live events in America.

The $50,000 PCA Single Day High Roller was won by New Zealand's David Yan earlier this week. This 6-Max tournament attracted a star-studded High Roller cast, with Yan agreeing a heads-up deal with Orpen Kisacikoglu.

Yan banked $485,690 for this victory, after 14 hours of play, and told PokerNews that his victory was down to running "insane"

��I��m pretty grateful for the experience" Yan told PokerNews after his victory. "When you play such a little amount, it��s just basically anything can happen. Today I just ran insane, the field was one of the tougher ones we��ve seen".
