PokerStars being acquired

I saw a mention of this acquisition in a newsletter and figured this would be of interest to many people here since it might allow Pokerstars and Fulltilt back into the US online poker market. Here's a link to a story from the Toronto Globe & Mail:

And here is a link to Amaya Group's press release on the acquisition, which is expected to be completed by the end of September.

    I don't see how this can hurt anyone other than WSOP, PartyPoker and other sites that will be competing.
