Presentable, producer of poker shows since 1999 has stopped filming a poker show after it did not receive the wire transfer from Ireland. Ireland is the home of Poker Kings, which is the operator of Full Tilt.
The game was played by celebrity players, which include boxer Audley Harrison and writer Victoria Coren as well as Full Tilt sponsored professionals.
Megan Stuart, Presentables Managing Director, said: The money hadnt come through for some of the players, basically the Full Tilt ones. We would have been staging the tournament under false pretences had we carried on.
Full Tilt was founded by Raymond Butar in the year 2004. There were other 2 poker firms which were closed down by US due to illegal bets in the country. All these 3 poker firms now get poker wagers from outside US.
Ms Stuart said that Presentable stopped the filming of the game after 3 games as it was clear that the firm does not have the full prize money. Full Tilt said that the plays will be given the funds in near future.
However, Full Tilt did not make any comment regarding this allegation.
