Full Tilt Poker Introduces Rush Poker
At most online sites, the hands in a ring game are dealt at nearly twice the speed of what would occur during a live session. This isn’t quick enough for some players, who prefer playing at multiple tables to earn more money for their bankroll and satisfy their desire for action. A new innovation at Full Tilt Poker has responded to the call for faster play on the virtual felt.

Full Tilt Poker Bot Lawsuit Focuses on Attorney Background
While several litigations against Full Tilt Poker appear to be resolved or dead in the water, the online poker room is still not in the clear when it comes to a lawsuit accusing the site of unfairly seizing player funds, using bots on the site, and racketeering.
Hastings Takes Isildur1 for $4 Million
If you were to ask people a month ago how they thought Isildur1 would go broke, chances are they would have said Patrik Antonius would take him down or that Phil Ivey would ultimately get the best of him.
