1) No news on the FTP takeover...
2) Gus Hansen did an interview with pokerlistings, in which he talks a bit about Full Tilt. He says he has a lot of money tied up there and he had no idea of the management side of the business. He thinks Lederer and Ferguson could be guilty of neglect or "not being careful enough" but he does not think they would be involved in foul play.
3) Ivey has now made the final table of 5 tournaments at the WSOP. No wins yet but he is leading for WSOP POY at the moment.
