This exodus of poker professionals was the subject of Bloomberg Business Week article written by Caroline Winter. Featured in the article were Matt Stout and friend Joey Cappuccio, who discuss their initial shock upon hearing the bad news, and their ultimate decision to leave:
“It took me a while to admit to myself that things aren’t going to get resolved anytime soon and that we were eventually gonna have to do something about it,” says Stout, who’s perched on a plaid chair in his new home, laptop in hand, registering for the day’s games. He barely finishes his sentence before Cappuccio, six-foot-three but the quieter of the two, blurts out: “By ‘eventually,’ we meant ‘now.’ ”
