PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker Settlement: Pros React on Twitter
On Tuesday, it was announced that a settlement had been reached between the U.S. Department of Justice and PokerStars. The settlement allows for PokerStars to acquire the assets of Full Tilt Poker and for players who had their bankrolls stuck on Full Tilt Poker to be repaid. After the settlement was announced, poker players took to Twitter to express their thoughts about the news.
The year and four month sweat to see if poker players would get their online money seems to be over!

Stars should bail everyone out 'with interest'. Would cost relatively little right now and would bump #hero status to #superhero

Most importantly, this should be the end of the worst thread in 2p2 history, the FTP Discussion Thread
