Full Tilt was making the headlines the last few days, releasing their first statement in weeks, which was then promptly followed by Jeff Irfah and his law firm – who had been active in communicating with the community prior to the press release coming out – filing a motion to step down as FT’s legal reps in the class action lawsuit.
What other headlines have been in the news this week? Read on:
- PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker – WCOOP to you and me – kicks off today, a $30m guaranteed prize pool across 62 events.
- Although Entraction is being cagey and hasn’t confirmed the story yet, there is multiple reports that the micro Euro network is pulling out of 5 countries at the end of the year, including Norway, Israel, Russia, Turkey and most notably Canada.
- Whilst we’re talking micro-networks, five skins of the little-known Atlantis Poker Network are reportedly offline, according to our friends at Online Poker Insiders. An official statement claims the sites are rebranding and will be back online in a couple of weeks.
- PokerStars releases a major update to their software, including a new “easy seat” system – which allows players to automatically load and maintain multiple poker tables fitting a user-defined criteria, and a new table theme with north-south heads up seating a la Full Tilt.
- The DOJ releases some – but not all – funds of PokerStars in one bank account in Luxembourg, one of many banks frozen in Black Friday, according to Subject: Poker.
