Another domino has fallen--Full Tilt Poker closed by regulators.

This isn't a a U.S. shutdown, as happened with PokerStars.  PokerStars still takes customers from almost every country in the world (I once had a player from Uzbekistan at my table) except the US.

This is a worldwide shutdown, and unlike PokerStars, where all of the players got their money back, none of the millions of dollars of United States player's money on Full Tilt has been returned, not to mention all of the accounts of non-US players that are now frozen as well.
