text: Full Tilt will still be taken over by Group Bernard Tapie (BGT), the French investment company has insisted.
  Laurent Tapie, the managing director of the company, has denied reports that poker star Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson - who is a large Full Tilt shareholder - was threatening to block the deal.
  "Chris Ferguson has no problem with regard to the completion of the takeover agreement, which is now imminent.
  "Even if Chris Ferguson wanted to oppose it, he would not be able to because the agreement has already been validated."
  Subject Poker claimed last week that Ferguson - who it said had banked around $60million from Full Tilt Poker in recent years - was demanding $14.3 million he used to cover the site's operating expenses after Black Friday last year.
  The Full Tilt takeover is expected to go through by early March and the BGT is currently in negotiations with the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) to its gambling licence re-activated.
