 Jonathan Little has been axed as a Full Tilt Pro after allowing someone else to play on his account.   Whereas it may seem a little harsh to some, I believe it is important that the red pros are actually the named players themselves, especially considering the number of railers that they draw, and questions that they encounter.

 Here is the full statement from Full Tilt Poker

 ”Despite having a great year on the WPT, Jonathan Little is no longer affiliated with Full Tilt Poker. He violated the terms and conditions of Full Tilt Poker by allowing other players to play his account. While we encourage our pros to play as much as they can, we do not allow them to share their account with any other players.

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.

Full Tilt Poker values the trust of its players and will deal with any violation of that trust swiftly. We apologize to any of our players who may have been misled during the past few months by Mr. Little’s actions.”
