Lets hope that this is a first step for the come back of full tilt poker online...

Still, there are many things to be sorted out but it would be nice to see full tilt back in buisness in 2011 Smile

Pretty bad news for the people that will be fired...

The events of that day were so far reaching, yet another example of people paying the price for what happened on Black Friday. I am hoping at this point that 2012 will be a better year for online poker, at least up until the end of the world on Dec. 21, 2012. Blink
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!

this was bound to happen after the events post black friday and many employees knew their time was limited. maybe they'll get their jobs back if fulltilt's new owners are able to sort out the mess
