The events of that day were so far reaching, yet another example of people paying the price for what happened on Black Friday.

Hopefully Full Tilt comes back online and cleans up their house, this would certainly help.

Financial crysis hits every sector of activity. Althought it can looks strange at a first view, its obvious that this company had rest too much in what concerns to contacts with new clientes, after getting a patnership with such a big name as Full Tilt. Life looked perfect, but now that the online poker monster fall down, things got bad also for them. New clients needed for Pocket Kings!
