They offered him $20K to rip up the Party patch he was about to put on and use their's instead. James is a loyal Party player and refused, sticking the Party patch on instead. Two things anger me: firstly shady agents approaching players who are so obviously contracted to rival sites, and secondly making that approach as the player is actually sitting at the feature table trying to prepare mentally for the most important poker session of their life. James deserves great credit for sticking with his morals and telling Tilt where to go. He ended up cashing for more than $96,000. GG.
