As a follow-up on last week's article, “PokerShare.com Closes Doors to N. America; Excapsa and Ultimate Bet May be to Blame," (Poker 777, November 8, 2005), PokerShare.com, a member of the Excapsa network, has reportedly contacted its remaining player base, informing it of the site's impending closure. According to the email, sent by PokerShare.com to its player constituency residing outside of North America, the site is planning to close tomorrow, November 14, at 9 am EST. Players have been requested to pull out of pre-registered events and withdraw their balances at the site. Players who fail to make the said withdrawal will have their balance mailed to them by check, instead of via their preferred payment method.

This move comes on the heels of a closeout of North American accounts, reported last week by Poker 777. As of press time, efforts to contact the Excapsa network for comment have been unsuccessful.
