Poker Kings Closing Shop February 28th

Internet poker destination Poker Kings has announced that it will be shutting its doors effective February 28th.

The site is a member of the International Poker Network, which is in turn powered by Boss Media. No specific reason was given for the shutdown, but the company's website claims that they decided to "consolidate product development" and close the site down.

Players have been urged to close out their positive balances by the deadline or else they will have their accounts refunded via the last transaction source that they have used.

The full text of Poker Kings' announcement reads:
