Full Tilt claims Phil Ivey owes site "a large sum of money"
"In an effort to further enrich himself at the expense of others, Ivey appears to have timed his lawsuit to thwart pending deals with several parties that would put money back in players’ pockets," reads a portion of the statement from Tiltware, the software and marketing company behind Full Tilt. "In fact, Ivey has been invited - and has declined - to take actions that could assist the company in these efforts, including paying back a large sum of money he owes the site."
Ivey's lawsuit, filed in Clark County, Nevada, last week, claims that Full Tilt did not inform him that the U.S. Attorney's office in the Southern District of New York had given the company "repeated warnings and clear notice that their conduct was illegal in the United States." As such, the suit claims that Full Tilt was in breach of contract and as a result Ivey should no longer have to comply with his contract's "non-competition covenant."
Ivey says he will not play in the World Series of Poker this year unless and until Full Tilt pays American players.
