Full Tilt Finally Pays Out - Just Not to You
The Alderney Gambling Control Commission announced today
that Full Tilt has paid the license fees that were due. According to reports, this amount was reported to be around
$410,000. In its statement regarding the matter, the AGCC claimed
that "The recent payment of overdue license fees by FTP is
also in playersâ best interests since it allows
commercial negotiations to take place that might result in a
successful refinancing deal. "
If you read between the lines, that basically equates to "We
will give them their license back should Full Tilt secure a
deal.

Fluffy Bunnies Make Windex Shine While Playing Poker
We are officially in the post-WSOP doldrums. I've been
perusing the various sites for news and, as expected, there
is your typical mix of relevant poker news and filler. The problem is that there seems to be a lot of filler. The
fluffy bunnies are now playing poker it seems.

Brad Daugherty's Bracelet Doesn't Sell - Again
I just read that 1991 WSOP Main Event Champ Brad Daugherty
failed to sell his bracelet yet again on eBay. He tried to do so in December of last year and it failed to
sell. This time, bids went up to $28,100 and yet it didn't meet
whatever reserve he put on the bracelet. The first thought that came to my head is "What the fuck?"
The bracelet is worth maybe $3k, if that, if you melted it
down for scrap gold.

Full Tilt Hearing - I Told You So
There is no other way to put this but to say, I told you so. I said weeks
ago[http://www. pokerjunkie. com/poker-blog/poker-news/full-tilts-license-revocation-first-steps-or-the-final-straw]
that if the Alderney Gambling Control Commission was to
reinstate Full Tiltâs license that they would need to
show that they are making significant process towards paying
US players back.

Deep Thoughts with Compncards
The monkey eats custard. Why the monkey eats custard is beyond me. Perhaps he was
tired of his typical diet of bananas and poo. Perhaps his
stomach was upset after the Full Tilt â Alderney
âhearingâ yesterday.
2011 WSOP Main Event Day 8 - The November Nine is Set
The 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event has finally
reached the November Nine. I stayed with the coverage until we got to 10 players, but I
had to get some sleep so I missed John Hewitt's bustout in
10th place. Regardless, here are your November Nine:
*Martin Staszko* - Chip Leader - 40. 17 Million:Â Stasko
is one of the unknowns at this final table.
