Clonie Gowen Sues FullTilt Poker

I read last night from a source, poker.com, that FullTilt Poker has decided that Clonie Gowen is not a good representative of their U.S. friendly poker room and has kicked her out.

Cycalona "Clonie" Gowen received notification that Full Tilt would be issuing a press release noting that she was no longer a member of Team Full Tilt, and she has reacted by filing a lawsuit in Nevada against Tiltware for a sum of 40 million dollars .

Clonie admits that no written contract had ever been signed, but that it was a verbal contrat that took place over the telephone and in meetings with executives in Las Vegas in 2004.

This could get nasty if you ask me. I've already been reading rumours that she has a drug problem and that's the reason she's been canned and pictures floating around the net show her looking pretty rough around the edges....... l hope it's not drugs, I hate to see anyone go down that road , and if it is I hope she gets help.

A statement was released by Tiltware in response to the lawsuit:

“Tiltware LLC has been made aware of the recent filing of a meritless lawsuit by a former Full Tilt Poker endorser - Ms. Cycalona Gowen. All claims have no merit and there are many inaccuracies improperly and unlawfully asserted by Ms. Gowen within her frivolous complaint. Tiltware LLC expects that this lawsuit will be dealt with accordingly by a competent court in due course.”

Perhaps reading of this lawsuit makes you wary and maybe has you looking for an alternative to Full Tilt Poker. If that would be the case you should try another U.S. friendly poker room that I like to play, PDC Poker or if you would like to get paid 30% of your rake back every day, then Carbon Poker .
