Postle Gives Up on $330M Lawsuit

Mike Postle's legal record will not wind up as spotless as his livestreamed poker ledger.

Postle took a rare loss last week when he reportedly requested dismissal of his own suit in which he alleged defamation by a slew of poker personalities and media entities (disclosure: PokerNews was a named party in the suit). The dismissal was granted and signed off on by a clerk in the Superior Court of California on April 1, according to a document released by defendant Veronica Brill.

As Brill and fellow defendant Todd Witteles had countered with anti-SLAPP motions to strike that were still under consideration, Postle will by default concede on that front, meaning he's on the hook for the defendants' legal fees as Brill announced in her tweet.
