Military Aircraft Delivers ‘Thirty Tons’ of Computer Equipment From Full Tilt Poker

A military aircraft landed on the Isle of Man late last week packed with “thirty tons” of computer equipment from Full Tilt Poker en route to the offices of PokerStars, which operates from that island nation. 

PokerStars acquired Full Tilt Poker this summer and is set to pay back non-US players owed monies from the company for over a year.

Speaking to total TV news station MTTV, Eric Hollreiser, head of corporate communications at PokerStars, said that shipping the equipment, much of it tall, would not be feasible on standard aircraft, hence the Hercules military transporter was chartered for the job.

According to Hollreiser, the Full Tilt deal meant the acquisition of over 200 staff in Dublin, and the company is hiring. PokerStars expects the entire online poker market to grow following the relaunch, and both businesses will expand. Their data center at the Isle of Man is also set to double both in size and data throughput.
