In the resulting affidavits that came out, Gowen accused the owners of Full Tilt Poker – essentially the Team Full Tilt members – of receiving regular payouts and loans from the website’s profits these things were proven to be true when Full Tilt closed its doors three years later. Those all came to a close in 2008, however.įeeling that she had not received adequate compensation for her promotion of the site, Gowen filed a lawsuit against Full Tilt Poker and its related entities, seeking 1% of the $40 billion estimated value of the company. From roughly 2004-2008, Gowen promoted the Full Tilt brand virtually everywhere she went, in tournaments around the world, on many televised poker shows (including Poker After Dark) and at other poker functions. Gowen joined 2015 Poker Hall of Fame inductee Jennifer Harman as the only two females on the Team Full Tilt roster and was quite proud to represent the company. This list is the answer to the question “whatever happened to _ from Full Tilt Poker?” that many are looking for.

A couple of others have continued on in the game while a couple more have disappeared altogether.

The players listed below were some of the most popular members of Team Full Tilt during its run, but at least one of them had been ejected from the fold before the actions of “Black Friday” and, in hindsight, might have been the original “whistleblower” in the Full Tilt folly. It also made “stars” of some of the members of Team Full Tilt. From its birth in 2004, with a tongue firmly planted in cheek “campaign” to put poker in the Summer Olympics in Greece, to its shameful closure in 2011 following the federal government’s attack of “Black Friday,” the site gave many in the online poker world a place to call home and/or bred a new generation of poker players (and, don’t forget, the home of the largest nosebleed cash games in the history of online poker).

It may seem like it has been eons ago, but the rise and fall of (the old, non-Amaya/Rational Group-owned) Full Tilt Poker only took about seven years in full fruition and rotten ending.
