London, 20th July 2010

Gabi Campos has been appointed PokerStars' new chief executive, following his departure from 888’s Dragonfish B2B arm last month.

Campos will start in his new role on 4 October, but will start acting as a non-operational consultant to the group earlier than October.

Campos left his position of Dragonfish managing director last month in the wake of 888’s full-year results, which showed Dragonfish to be the star performer against the company’s overall decline in profits.

PokerStars founder Isai Scheinberg will continue as chief technical officer, while son Mark Scheinberg will assume the position of chairman.

PokerStars is currently the largest poker room in the world, registering a daily average of over 100,000 active players!
