Recently it was rumored on the poker forums that Full Tilt Poker has given instructions to their pro players not to engage in coinflips at the cash tables anymore. There may be some substance to this, as is evident from this piece of table chat on Thursday:


Ziigmund: let sflip
Ziigmund: lets flip
Ziigmund: lets flip
Ziigmund: lets flip
Phil Ivey: full tilt won't allow me to do that
Ziigmund: ????
Phil Ivey: long stry
Ziigmund: huh¨¨
Ziigmund: whatever
Phil Ivey: im serious

Bluff Europe published this chat and they think the reason might be the poker legislature in the US and Ivey's upcoming high profile appearance at the WSOP Main Event. We'll see if the "ban" is lifted after the WSOP, or will Ziigmund have to find someone else to flip with when the gambling mood hits him.
