Phil Ivey da in judecata Tiltware si nu participa la WSOP 2011
Lumea pokerului a fost socata de anuntul care se pare ca va avea un mare efect in comunitatea pokerului. Marti seara, Phil Ivey, privit ca cel mai bun jucator de poker din lume, a intrerupt tacerea la 6 saptamani dupa evenimentele petrecute in „vinerea neagra”, urmarita de retinerea banilor jucatorilor de pe Full Tilt Poker.
Pe contul lui de Facebook, Ivey spune ca nu va participa anul acesta la WSOP, si a lansat un proces impotriva celor de la Tiltware pentru conturile nereglate, compania de soft si marketing pentru Full Tilt, unul din cele mai mari siteuri de poker online.
Aveti mai jos declaratia acestuia in limba engleza:
"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.
I whole heartedly refuse to accept non-action as to repayment of players funds and I am angered that people who have supported me throughout my career have been treated so poorly.
I sincerely hope this statement will ignite those capable of resolving the problems into immediate action and would like to clarify that until a solution is reached that cements the security of all players, both US and International, I will, as I have for the last six weeks, dedicate the entirety of my time and efforts to finding a solution for those who have been wronged by the painfully slow process of repayment."
