PokerStars via a press ufficialevieta to all players of poker rooms not authorized by AAMS to use in live events (IPT and EPT San Remo) patch and advertising logos.

The ban is in bringing the logos of poker rooms that do not have regular grant AAMS, because in Italy it is illegal to advertise logos operators without a license.

Here we present commented Marco Trucco, manager for Italy at Everest Poker:
“Us to accommodate the decision of PokerStars and we decided to withdraw the participation of all Everest Poker players, including Francesco De Vivo Cristiano Blanco from all tournaments in which they can not play with the brand they represent. We believe it is a legitimate choice but shortsighted because ‘the prestige of a tournament is evaluated by the names of players who participate, not the name of the poker room that organizes it. Not allowing many of the best Italian players to participate in the IPT and ‘the IPT itself to lose the role of the Italian Poker Championship that was recognized. Christian and Francis will play only tournaments where they can take with pride that distinguishes them, the colors of Everest Poker. “
