Lee Davy sits quietly in the noisiest library in the world bringing you a round-up of the weekly poker news including: Jason Somerville smashing Twitch records, the voice of Heads Up Display dissention, and much more.

The pilgrimage to bring a regulated online poker industry to the United States suffered a setback this week, after it was revealed that promoters and pushers in California had given up the ghost for 2015.

The 2015 legislative session came and went: tribes, online gambling companies and racetracks failed to agree that salt was salt; the California Gambling Control Commission fell apart at the seams, and bills were left to gather dust.

The news will be a blow for PokerStars who sent their wisest angels on a tour of Californian card rooms spreading the gospel. The saints and sages songs will no doubt be forgotten by the time Californian lawmakers take another look at this thing.
