European players quizzed in FTP poll
An interesting thread surfaced this morning on 2+2 written by a rep from Spanish poker magazine, Poker Red.
It appears that French poker magazine LivePoker has been calling Full Tilt customers with large balances and conducting questionnaires asking they would consider playing on FTP again.
Interestingly LivePoker has strong connections with FTP suitors and likely investors, Groupe Bernard Tapie. Several players have now stepped forward admitting they have been called and asked their opinion of several repayment methods should FTP re-open its doors.
You can read more about it in our news article.
High stakes corner
It was another solid 24 hours for everyone’s favourite Fin, Ilari "IlariFIN" Sahamies. The high stakes PLO specialist chalked up a $112,927 win according to HSDB.
While Ilari Sahamies celebrates his success, fellow high stakes pro Richard "nutsinho" Lyndaker seems to be wallowing in a poker depression.
Lyndaker has lambasted his luck on Twitter and appears to be close to quitting, claiming to have "run terrible every single day this year". He remains the year's biggest loser on PokerStars.
