Andy Bloch talks Full Tilt

Andy Bloch winning a  bracelet this year

One of the more recognisable members of Team Full Tilt has broken his silence on the site. Andy Bloch spoke exclusively to Diamond Flush in an interview yesterday.

It was actually the most candid interview we have seen with a Team Full Tilt member and Bloch went into a lot of detail about the state of Full Tilt after Black Friday.

Among the topics of discussion were details on the site's cash flow, a proposed plan to change the board of directors and the potential investment deals which took place in Dublin.

Phil Ivey did not come across well at all in the interview. Bloch called Ivey's lawsuit against FTP "bogus", confirmed Ivey owed millions to FTP and tried to borrow even more after Black Friday, and also detailed how Ivey's lawsuit scuppered a potential repayment plan for US players.

Bloch also put most of the blame on Ray Bitar, revealing that he was guilty of "never really giving anybody the full picture of what was happening" when the company was still accepting deposits they couldn't process.

The interview is well worth a read and can be found here.

Duhamel court case extended

The trial for Jonathan Duhamel's ex-girlfriend Bianca Rojas-Latraverse has been delayed because she was injured after being attacked in a detention centre.

Rojas-Latraverse is currently awaiting trial for the robbery of the Duhamel, which left the main event champion beaten and bruised. She is accused of masterminding the robbery and faces five charges including grand larceny, kidnapping, assault and battery, conspiracy, and breaking and entering.

The case was set to go ahead yesterday, but has now been delayed.

Happier times for Duhamel and Rojas-Latraverse

Amaya Gaming to buy Ongame?

According to a report from PokerFuse, the Ongame network could soon have a new owner. A few months ago the planned deal between them and Shuffle Master fell through, and now Amaya Gaming could step in to acquire the network.

Amaya Gaming is based in Montreal and is said to be worth $300m. The planned deal with Shuffle Master was said to be worth almost €30m at the time.

An announcement is expected to clarify this next month at the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas.

WCOOP update

Norway are having a storming WCOOP this year, and last night "inspecta" captured their 5th bracelet of the series. He took down the $530 Limit Omaha Hi/Lo event for $41,162.55 at a final table which included ElkY and Vanessa Selbst.

Three events take place today including a $700 heads-up, a $320 six max, and a $320 HORSE event.
