BUT, from the release you posted: "Darus “Dennis_TO” Suharto, 39, Ontario, Canada; won a satellite tournament on PokerStars and progressed through two levels of online tournaments to win his seat in the WSOP." :) I realize I am piling on at this point … BUT, from the release you posted:

But hey, like I said, I was just trying to cause trouble. I still stand by at least 50 percent of everything I've said. Shame on them for burying the lede!

And as far as I can tell Stars has not hidden the fact that guys like Dennis Phillips have qualified via other means: http://www.pokerstarsblog.com/2008/07/2008-world-series-pokerstars-six.html Actually, Darus Suharto qualified via a $650 satellite on PokerStars and Ylon Schwartz has tournament winnings of nearly $400K on Stars.

FTP did snatch up the remaining 1/3 of the Nov. 9 (Montgomery, Marquis and Kim). Seems strange that Stars has Chino, when it appears he’s been playing at FTP for a while.
