Konnikova parts ways with PokerStars
Poker players continue to leave PokerStars Team Pro. In a week after Boeree and Kurganov stated about leaving PokerStars, the writer and poker player Maria Konnikova did the same, by writing a message about it on her Twitter.
The poker community started talking about Konnikova at the beginning of 2018 when she won PCA National Championship. It became known that Maria enlisted Erik Seidel's support and began to write a poker book by trying to pass her way from a novice to a professional player based on her personal experience. Since then, the girl managed to earn over $200 000 by means of poker.
