Online poker site, DoylesRoom has announced that it has have joined the Yatahay Poker Network following the departure from the Cake Poker Network late last week.

Poker legend Doyle Brunson revealed on Twitter that he was in Costa Rica seven days ago, sparking rumors that the poker room may be on the verge of joining the highly popular Cereus Poker Network.

However, it has been confirmed that the Yatahay Poker Network will be their new home.

The 77 year-old spoke of his excitement at the deal in a press release circulated following the announcement.

“With our new software, we are able to do our own thing in terms of promotions, software features and customer service.”

“For our players, that means a tailored poker experience with more rewarding promotions and incentives. I am personally excited about what is ahead.”

DoylesRoom first joined the Cake Poker Network in 2009 after leaving the Microgaming Network.

However, the network has been in steady decline for almost 12 months. High profiles executives Lee Jones and Serge Ravitch also parted ways with the company at the start of the year.

Cake Poker Network has allegedly recorded a 30% drop in traffic since the departure of DoylesRoom. The Yatahay Poker Network could now become one of the leading gainers in the online poker market during 2011.
