There is light at the end of a tunnel for those players affected. Michelle Clayborn, spokesperson for Full Tilt Poker said, "In light of recent events involving the freezing of certain accounts, Full Tilt Poker would like to assure all players that their funds remain safe and secure"

So far the feds only seem to be targeting the two biggest poker rooms, PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker. According to the ABC report, PokerStars have also begun refunding any of its players who have been affected.
