Re: Full Tilt Pro's going to owe Pokerstars?

They would probably sign Ivey and PA in a heartbeat. The other USA based pros, I don't see why they would want them

I doubt poker stars goes after any monies payed to full tilt pros. The rake that each of them will likely pay in a year at new full tilt/stars could easily pay for what they owed. Why run off your biggest raking players when their lifetime rake is worth much more?

Who did Antonius just sign with? Lol. I wonder how hard he's going to try and wrangle out of that contract now if Pokerstars becomes an option. Whoops.

Im pretty sure Stars will write off Barry's debt, and rightly so, the guy is the GOAT poker ambassador
