Phil Ivey and Full Tilt Poker that is. It seems that former Full Tilt team member Clonie Gowen didn't think she got her fair share of the profits. We think she's crazy.
She’s suing Full Tilt Poker for $40,000,000 over a breach of contract!
Gowen alleges that when she signed on as a Full Tilt pro back in 2004, she was promised a 1% ownership of the company.
Well, in 2007, when it came time to receive her distribution check, she was only given a fraction of what she thought she was owed - which was $250,000 from Howard Lederer, chief operator of Full Tilt Poker. Gowen felt the company was worth way more than what Lederer was making it seem to be, and refused the payment.
Let's do some REAL SIMPLE math here. $250,000 is 1% of $25,000,000. 25 million dollars. $40 Million is %1 of $4 BILLION. Does anyone really think their worth that type of money? Before the IGEA Full Tilt wasn't anything near what it is today.
