PokerStars Triples Traffic of Full Tilt

At the top of the online poker battle for most players, PokerStars sits comfortably.  So comfortable is PokerStars that they have triple the traffic now of their nearest rival, Full Tilt Poker. 

PokerStars had originally considered abandoning the US market last year after the passage of a new law that looked to ban online poker.  The popular online poker room consulted with its legal counsel who would ultimately interpret the law as "too vague" in its enforcement.  A court ruling on the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act and its policy is anticipated within days. 

Recent monitoring shows that PokerStars has had nearly three times the number of cash players as Full Tilt Poker and almost 20,000 at its peak on Tuesday while Full Tilt had under 10,000.  PartyPoker, which no longer accepts US players, has also been beating out Full Tilt.
