Poker boom in China.

There has been quite a few articles citing that the next poker boom may very well be in china. Ofcouse there are some legal limitations but it seems companies are working really hard on getting it legal or at the very least finding legal loopholes. I know Tencent is getting invested into it with their poker app and I think they may be running a series but I haven't looked much into it.

What do you guys think about it? Is it even possible to say that the game might be revived if it hit china even if it hits china at all?
