There is a rumour recently that Viktor Blom could leave PokerStars given that Brian "Stinger88" Hasting and Brian Townsend is would be pointing at its tables.
Both players were playing on Full Tilt Poker in the past (before the black friday we hear). Today, these two players are now installed at the Canada and have chosen the PokerStars poker room to continue to play. And the choice is not surprising since it is on this site that the 'high stakes' action is dynamic. In other words, you will not find anywhere a greater pool of players high stakes on surprising PokerStars.Pas that Blom wants to leave.
Perhaps it is still angry with Brian Hastings which took him 4 M$ on Full Tilt Poker during a single session of poker? It must be said that in this story, Hasting and Cole South had shared hands and Blom information before you destroy it. According to some, this gesture is the cheat even if many do are not with it. As a result, Townsend had been reprimanded by FTP and had lost his status of Red Pro on Full Tilt Poker for 1 month (a pittance under the circumstances).
The rumor of the departure of Viktor Blom was mentioned on HighStakesDB by a member who wrote: "I have apparently heard from a reliable source that Viktor Blom would leave PokerStars. Viktor Blom took this idea when Brian Hastings and Brian Townsend is are relocated to the Canada and could, with PokerStars, return play on its tables. "Blom has withdrawn all its funds, would have involved has some WCOOP and would have retained the rest of his money to participate in tournaments the WSOPE."
The person in question continues: "he should wear his crest PokerStars at the WSOPE and play 1"Showdown"over against Daniel"KidPoker"Negreanu to comply with its agreement." His contract expires December 17 and I believe that it will be the end of his partnership with PokerStars".
Obviously, this news has yet been confirmed by any other credible sources and PokerCollectif has no information to confirm/refute the new.For his part, PokerStars has confirmed to Blom Hasting and Townsend could not sit on the same table, which is a good thing for him.
Patrik Antonius is caught lying
During an interview that he gave a few weeks ago, Patrik Antonius had stated that it would be the biggest loser from this site if ever Full Tilt Poker did never return (implying that he had several million in his account) online.Following this news, a source confirmed that Patrik had only $ 100 in his FTP account, making it in fact the smallest loser of FTP. When Antonius heard this news he commented: "this person has attacked me saying that I had only $100 on my Full Tilt account. He is right on this point, but this does not mean that I would not be a big loser in this case."
What Antonius meant is that several people owe money and that if these people no longer have access to their FTP account, they will not be able to pay it back. We have no idea of the scale of debts which they have total to Antonius, but note only one of these people it should the sum of 2. $4M, which has what chicotter no matter what wallet.
