Court documents reveal something else
According to the latest reports regarding the lawsuit filed electronically by Phil Ivey against Full Tilt Poker parent Tiltware, there's more reason for the suit than just unpaid Full Tilt players' balances.
Namely, as Clark County court documents have become available, it was revealed that the lawsuit claims over $150 million in damages to Ivey's personal and professional reputation, alleging that Tiltware has denied his request to pursue other professional relationships in poker.
It has been specified by Ivey's lawyer David Chesnoff that, his career being in bloom at the moment, Ivey wants to be able to take up new challenges and opportunities as they emerge. He also repeated Ivey's previous statement that Full Tilt owes its players about $150 million but failed to maintain a large enough reserve account to return the funds, which makes himself feel embarrassed.
In his statement, Ivey also said that he will refrain from playing at World Series of Poker this year because "I do not believe it is fair that I compete when others cannot," referring to the Black Friday actions in the U.S.
