Full Tilt Poker Set to Boycott Italian Poker Tour
After the last IPT event in Venice, the next stop of the series will be San Remo, where PokerStars is planning to hold an exclusive invitational tournament (the Pro Championship) besides the IPT main event.
The Pro Championship will have a buy-in of €3,500 and will be capped at 64 participants, the players being selected by a special points system.
PokerStars, however, will not allow players to wear other sites’ logos. Full Tilt Poker is, of course, objecting this, and has decided not to send any of its sponsored players to the tournament in exchange.
This decision will definitely result in a decrease in overall field strength, as Full Tilt Poker’s several genius players will be absent from the exclusive tourney. Italian pros sponsored by Full Tilt Poker include Isaiah Alessio, Daniele Mazzia, Flavio Ferrari Zumbini and Philip Candiorisk.
PokerStars will surely hold the event, but in order to overcome the inconveniences caused by the logo ban and Full Tilt’s boycott, the two sites will need to work something out in the next two or three weeks.
