PokerStars team pro Chris Moneymaker, the man credited for starting the online poker revolution, offered up a daring prediction regarding Full Tilt Poker’s future. 

“I wouldn’t be surprised if Full Tilt is sold off eventually," he said in a no-holds bar interview with PokerListings.com

Moneymaker claimed in the interview that Full Tilt Poker has had great difficulty in competing with sister poker site PokerStars cash games.

So who would buy Full Tilt?

"(It) would rather be a brick-and-mortar casino like Caesars," Moneymaker offered.  "Any big, affluent casino that can afford to pay $950 million or whatever it’ll cost.

"Personally, I think that buying Full Tilt was an ingenious move."

Full Tilt Poker was purchased by the parent company of PokerStars, The Rational Group, as part of a deal with the US Government following a series of indictments in April 2011.
