The New York Daily News says a “well-known, high-stakes” poker player utilized the services of Kristin Davis, who has been linked to former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer.

Davis allegedly ran a number of high-end prostitution rings and is currently being held on money laundering and prostitution charges.

The name of the poker player has not been discovered, according to pokerkingblog.com:

The New York Daily News apparently obtained a list of all of the “clients” that utilized the services of Kristin Davis. There were many names on the list, including doctors, lawyers, hedge fund managers and apparently a well-known poker pro. The pro is not named in the article.

The article goes on to say that the “poker star” spent a total of $26,450 on eight separate “dates”, with two of the “sessions” lasting a total of seven hours. According to the article, the “gambling man” was amongst the biggest spenders in Davis’ “crew of regulars”.

Whole thing here.
