The UK high stakes player wants to see PokerStars reduce rake and provide a better path for players to move up in stakes.
Talal Shakerchi is a 54-year-old businessman from the UK that plays in some of the highest stakes poker games in the world. While his success in cash games is undocumented, he has amassed over $7 million in tournament winnings, including nearly $1 million for making back-to-back Final Tables here in The Bahamas.
As a prolific poster on the Two Plus Two poker forums (under the moniker “raidalot“), Shakerchi has been an outspoken critic of PokerStars in recent years.
