The likely mergers are off and running.
888 and Party are a natural match, which would guarantee a major non-US entity. 888 stock has done the best of the publicly traded ones, while Party is still the second largest cardroom.
If it occurs the combined company would be the one to pay attention once US players get shut out. Even if they don't, it will be a powerful company.
