Poker Player Tweets of the Week: Green Friday edition

28 Feb 2014

By Dan Podheiser

The day has finally arrived. On Friday, nearly three years after Black Friday, when the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) shut down Full Tilt and seized players' bankrolls from the website, several players finally got back their money. It's a day that will go down in poker history, and many in the industry have dubbed it "Green Friday." (Why does this stuff keep happening on Fridays, anyway?) In place of my usual Tweets of the Week column, I've decided to join in the celebration by compiling tweets that have captured the emotion of this great day. Let's just all take a few minutes to sit back and take in that sweet smell of justice.

Arrived in LA and got paid via DOJ #todaywasagoodday #icecube #ftpcashout ????
