Clonie Gowen Lawsuit Dismissed?
9 April, 2009

NEWS

After filing a lawsuit against Tiltware, LLC (Full Tilt Poker), it looks like a court has dismissed Cycalona "Clonie" Cowen's case.

Back in November, Full Tilt told Gowen that her services would no longer be required and her image would be removed from the Full Tilt Poker site, something she says was in violation of an oral agreement reached between the two back in 2004.

In her lawsuit, Gowen claimed "Breach of Contract, Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Breach of the Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing, Unjust Enrichment, and Fraud" and sought $40,000,000 in damages.

Also named as defendants were a number of prominent Full Tilt Poker players including Howard Lederer, Andy Bloch, Phil Ivey, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, John Juanda, Phil Gordon, Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel, Jennifer Harman-Traniello, Mike Matusow, Allen Cunningham, Gus Hansen, Ray Bitar and Patrick Antonious.

Full Tilt filed to have the suit dismissed back in early-January and apparently have been successful.

"Female poker player Cycalona (Clonie) Gowen’s attempt at suing Full Tilt Poker has been initially dismissed," reports aintluck.com.

"Formerly part of 'Team Full Tilt,' in November of last year she filed suit in Nevada court against Tiltware LLC, the software company linked with Full Tilt, claiming breach of contract. Seeking damages of $40 million, she had accepted 1 percent ownership of the company for being a celebrity representative in 2004. However, in 2007, all Team FTP members pocketed distribution checks apart from her, forcing her to seek damages."

More information as it becomes available.
