"PartyGaming PLC, the world's largest online poker operator, said Thursday that it is in takeover talks with smaller rival Empire Online Ltd."

"Empire confirmed in a statement that it had received an approach, but declined to comment further."

More big news coming from the Party network. I wonder what the effects of a merger will be on poker players with accounts at both.

It's an interesting move, given that Party and Empire were originally skins of each other, then they separated, and now they may be to some extent merging again... hopefully it just means that the business will be acquired, with the 2 sites run separately for the time being (although I'd fully expect them to get merged at some point).
