Is this for real?

Look at the recent post.

For many years, I have been proud to call myself a poker player. This great sport has taken me to places I only imagined going and I have been blessed with much success. It is therefore with deep regret that I believe I am compelled to release the following statement.

I am deeply disappointed and embarrassed that Full Tilt players have not been paid money they are owed. I am equally embarrassed that as a result many players cannot compete in tournaments and have suffered economic harm

I am not playing in the World Series of Poker as I do not believe it is fair that I compete when others cannot. I am doing everything I can to seek a solution to the problem as quickly as possible.

My name and reputation have been dragged through the mud, through the inactivity and indecision of others and on behalf of all poker players I refuse to remain silent any longer. I have electronically filed a lawsuit against Tiltware related to the unsettled player accounts. As I am sure the public can imagine, this was not an easy decision for me

I wholeheartedly refuse to accept non-action as to repayment of players funds and I am angered that people who have supported me throughout my career have been treated so poorly.

I sincerely hope this statement will ignite those capable of resolving the problems into immediate action and would like to clarify that until a solution is reached that cements the security of all players, both US and International, I will, as I have for the last six weeks, dedicate the entirety of my time and efforts to finding a solution for those who have been wronged by the painfully slow process of repayment.









From his facebook!

Is the link. I respect him a lot for this move, disappointing to not be able to watch him play though!

It looks like his account has been hacked to me.

I IVEY.

Finally someone with some balls, it was getting pathetic.

Wow

If this is true.... fap fap fap fap fap fap.

wow

just saw this on his fb

does he really have time to write something on his facebook or are the Crap dealers in vegas on strike or something?

This is mental!

If this isn't a hack, A ****ing +.

what a class act if true...

Mad props to Phil. Wonder how many players will follow suit. It's about time a Pro of his magnitude voiced their opinions with as much conviction.

if this is true, there is no way phil is doing this if he doesn't believe that ftp couldnt pay out players in full, or sooner.

If true, GOAT keeps on GOATing.

it must be real if you just posted it as your first post!

Ivey just became the worldest greatest ever player...big KUDOS...to the man

Needs to be [x]confirmed
