ROW OVER POKER PROS' DEBT TO FULL TILT CONTINUES (Update)

10 February 2012

Matusow owes $700 000, claims Groupe Bernard Tapie legal representative  

The furore over a reportedly $16.5 million total debt owed by former Full Tilt Poker professional players to the embattled company continued Wednesday with allegations that Mike Matusow owed $700 000. Matusow immediately denied the claim via Twitter.

On the face of it, the allegation comes from a persuasive source - Groupe Bernard Tapie's lawyer Behn Dayanim - and flows from that company's due diligence inspections in pursuit of its acquisition of Full Tilt.

Dayanim told the Pokerupdate information site that Matusow owed $700 000 and had not responded to attempts at starting a discussion over the debt.

The lawyer also firmed up the amount allegedly owed by 19 top names in world poker to a total of $16.5 million.
