Jonathan Little Fired from Full Tilt Poker

Jonathan Little, former winner of the World Poker Tour, was fired by Full Tilt Poker for a violation of his contract with the online poker room. Full Tilt administrator TilterRick made the following announcement Tuesday afternoon in the casino's forums: "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 others 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..."

Known by the online name "Fieryjustice", Little was accused on the PocketFives forum of playing 1,227 sit-and-go games in just a week. While not clear if this aroused suspicion among Full Tilt employees, it was not long before the announcement was made. Others in the forum claimed that Little, or someone masquerading as him, was playing on Full Tilt while also participating in NBC's National Heads-Up Championship.

Full Tilt's agreements with professional players stipulate that they are who they claim to be, that is, that no one else has access to their online account. Little is not the first person to be caught breaking the terms of his agreement. Recently, Sorel Mizzi was discovered to be using a friend's account and Josh Fields, using multiple accounts.

Including his 2007 win, Little has earned over two million dollars in WPT events alone.
