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.
