Anyone want to try to be the last man/woman standing? As in, the last person in the U.S. to still be playing online poker in a few days (I imagine it wouldn't take more than a few days)?

(From what I understand, US players that are already seated at a table aren't getting booted, but it sounds like most people can't sit at new tables, so eventually the number of US players remaining will wind down...)

So in that Fed charge sheet, it has Ira Ruben and Chad Elie as being charged on all 3 sites.

So are they major shareholders on AP-Stars-FTP, or am I seeing that all wrong?

Somewhere in a dark grimy ditch, Clonie Gowen is face down with a needle stuck in her finally having the last laugh.
