Up on his Facebook page.
For many years, I have been proud to call myself a poker player. This great sport has taken me to places I only imagined going and I have been blessed with much success. It is therefore with deep regret that I believe I am compelled to release the following statement.
I am deeply disappointed and embarrassed that Full Tilt players have not been paid money they are owed. I am equally embarrassed that as a result many players cannot compete in tournaments and have suffered economic harm.
I am not playing in the World Series of Poker as I do not believe it is fair that I compete when others cannot. I am doing everything I can to seek a solution to the problem as quickly as possible.
My name and reputation have been dragged through the mud, through the inactivity and indecision of others and on behalf of all poker players I refuse to remain silent any longer. I have electronically filed a lawsuit against Tiltware related to the unsettled player accounts. As I am sure the public can imagine, this was not an easy decision for me.
Oh and James Bord was apparently giving John Juanda a load of abuse after he busted out of the $25k match. Pretty sure today won't be topped.

Really starting to think FTP could be going down. Not because Phil Ivey is ditching them, more that the fact he is ditching them means he knows the gravity of the shit they are in (I also think Hellmuth and Duke must have had an inkling that the DOJ thing may have happened which prompted them to leave).

Ivey has been on twitter for a few years. He had an assistant who tweeted his WSOP progress last couple of years. |

There is no better feeling than rocking up in a city for the first time, with nowhere to stay and everything new - so liberating.

Nick Rainey has been dishing dirt about Tilt on the QuadJacks podcast.
-----------
Says he bought a 100% rakeback account from a Tilt employee for $10k + $2k a month - others were sold for up to $50k.
Patrik Antonius had 40 accounts at Tilt (though PA multiple accounts had long been suspected)
David Benyamine had up to $5m secretly funnelled into his account by an employee. He kept losing (obv). More and more money was given to him in order to try and get him out of it. eventually was discovered, employee was fired, and Benyamine was turfed out into the cold by Tilt for a while.
Now Scott Matusow says that some of the accounts seized by the DoJ were accounts of top Tilt pros, one of which was Ivey's, hence Ivey's action today.
----------
Dramabombs much?
