Posted by bowie1984: By the way this above states that she has over 4 million in live tourey earnings - does she play this good online too? I found it interesting that Amaya cutting expenses yet they keep up with million dollar promos like those spin&gos...
I doubt it that this breakout was for money reasons... amaya have billions of dollars, so Vanessa's paycheck sure wasnt problem... I think, and that is my opinion that vanessa didnt play quite time on pokerstars and thats why she is kicked out...
Her contract must has some throwaround sentences about being inactive, but that wouldn't necessary terminate it IMO, there is probably some other issue too in the background, we will never find out exactly what was the real reason I guess. She is too successfull of a player to be neglected this way, isn't it?
Does she even registered anywhere else? I don't think she went awol on PS, her sponsor contract just got terminated - it does not mean necessary that her account got terminated too. I am pretty sure if she will be playin' cards in the future and probably she will do it on one of Amaya's sites...
