Fulltilt Axes WPT Champ Jonathan Little as FullTilt Pro

World Poker Tour Champion Jonathan “FieryJustice” Little has been axed from his role as a Fulltilt Poker Pro player - and has had his account on Fulltilt Poker terminated.
Little Has has cashed 6 times in the Word Series Of Poker and has made 3 World Poker Tour final tables, bringing in a total of $2,600,000 as well as gaining him the status of “Full Tilt Pro”. Little has also had his fair share of success in online multi table tournaments, including a 2nd in the Sunday Million on PokerStars for $90,000 and a 4th in the 750k guaranteed for $70,000.
A statement on the FullTilt Forum states that Little
violated the terms and conditions of Full Tilt Poker by allowing other players to play his account.
Account sharing is strictly prohibited in FullTilt’s Terms and conditions. The statement goes on to say
When a player on Full Tilt Poker plays against and chats with a red pro on the site, it is imperative that they be able to trust that it is really the advertised pro playing the account. Given that Mr. Little violated that trust, we have decided to sever his ties to the site, and close his account.
Little will no longer dominate the FullTilt Sit and Go leaderboards, and cannot take advantage of 100% rakeback (which all FullTilt pro’s are entitled to), as well as being unable to take part in some of the biggest poker games in the world which are exclusive to FullTilt.
FullTilt’s move has been praised in the poker community, as abuse such as this debases the Tournament Leaderboards - which are designed to give more back to high volume Sit and Go Tournament players.
