"In a recent interview Matusow talked about the situation with Full Tilt Poker, and Daniel Negreanu and Tony G also joined the discussion.
In the interview Matusow says, that he believes people are going to get paid back.
"It is hard for Howard Lederer talk to anybody because he is so depressed, but still he and Phil Ivey are working around the clock to fix the situation.
They are not the type of people that are going to run.", Matusow tells.
Matusow also reveals that he has currently $250,000 on Full Tilt, and claims that Tom "durrrr" Dwan has a million dollars stuck on Full Tilt while Daniel "jungleman12" Cates has a whopping $6 million stuck on his Full Tilt account."
I wonder if this is true, it was clear that these guys had huge bankrolls but i wonder if daniel really kept that much money in his poker account...
It probably is he has no real reason to lie...And by h**********b.com and pokertablerankings.com the nubers are about right...durr is all giht thou they say he won like 5 mill in Macau over 2 years so hes cool...and Cates has atleast 500k on Stars may be less but hes good too Matusow on the other hand is pretty much fucked cuzz he has no big source of income

6 mil dollars stuck is a big amount. i dont know how of a big pro player is in terms of winnings, but no matter what if he loses that amount its gonna hurt anyways Stupid risk to take leaving all this money in.

That doesnt surprise me. I mean Full Tilt was in top 5 party clients, with a long tradition, and truely one of the most stable out there. Atleast it seemed like that. But if the guy has 6 mills on a poker client, I wonder how much does he have it in total

really sick if what matusow says is true. but kinda stupid to keep so much money on a poker site. would be tough getting it back now. im sure we'll get a reply from Cates in few days about this matter.
