The river card has come and poker babe Clonie Gowen has lost her long battle against Full Tilt Poker. With this decision, Gowen’s bid for a 1% stake of Full Tilt Poker appears to be over.

Since November 2008, Gowen has been locked in a court feud with Full Tilt Poker after claiming she was once promised 1% of the company in exchange for representing them. Full Tilt big shot Howard Lederer and other FTP representatives claim the company is worth over $4 billion and that would refute her claims. In essence, this would mean that Did Full Tilt verbally offer her the 1% not knowing the company would eventually be valued so high?  You decide for yourself.  Of course, Howard Lederer is a man of integrity as we all know now that the Full Tilt scandal has been uncovered!

Still, Gowen continued on with her lawsuit against Tiltware LLC which also included Full Tilt Poker, Phil Ivey, Jennifer Harman, and Erick Lindgren, all FTP endorsed poker pros, among the list of defendants. Gowen claimed that every member of Team Full Tilt was given distribution checks except for her.  However, Lederer allegedly offered Clonie a cool quarter million for representing Full Tilt Poker. She refused this payment and began working towards launching her lawsuit in the hopes of landing a $40,000,000 payday.

There is one guarantee that will come from all this mess.  Next time, be assured Clonie will get it in writing.

Clonie Has Fun in Charity Poker Tournament

Hellmuth described how poker pro Brandon Cantu was knocked out of the charity rebuy tournament and was preparing to leave when Clonie Gowen stepped up to the mic and said:

“I will rebuy you Brandon, but then we have to have a last longer bet where the loser gets tasered by the winner!” Cantu reluctantly agreed to the bet.

The prop went down to the wire, with Cantu holding the chip lead at the last two tables after holding AA in a three-way all-in. Fortunately for Clonie, he doubled her up before being eliminated.

“Finally, Cantu went broke on the bubble, and Clonie will tase him at the Bellagio, and we will invite poker players to watch it, and play the video on youtube.com, cardplayer.com, and bluff.com!”

Nice going Clonie!

Full Tilt Poker, the online site that formerly sponsored Clonie Gowen as well as dozens of other top professional poker players, now has a third lawsuit on its hands to go along with pending legal action from Clonie and former employee Jason Newitt.  Unlike the previous two cases, this suit comes from a customer rather than someone with inside knowledge of how the company works.

Online poker players Lary “pokergirl z” Kennedy and Greg Omotoy filed their complaint on October 1st and levied accusations of fraud, libel, slander, false advertising, and racketeering against the popular online poker room.

Kennedy and Omotoy sought legal action after Full Tilt Poker confiscated more than $80,000 spread across the two players’ accounts because FTP believed they were using bots, which is against its Terms of Service.  Shortly after her account was frozen in 2007, Kennedy posted her story on a poker forum seeking advice.  As the thread developed, news broke that Kennedy was logging in on Omotoy’s account to elicit more action at the heads-up tables.

In addition to seeking restitution and damages, the lawsuit accuses the site of a number of other crimes and makes insinuations about the inner workings of its management team.  The suit is filed against the companies Full Tilt Poker and Tiltware as well as several individual members of Team Full Tilt.  The list of individuals named in the claim includes Howard Lederer, Raymond Bitar, Phil Gordon, Chris Ferguson and other sponsored players believed to be more than players.
