In 2009, the online poker world was struck by the appearance of a mysterious Swedish player known only as " Isildur1 ." This stranger was aggressive, prone to big bets and was not afraid to face the likes of Tom "durrrr" Dwan, Phil Ivey Patrik Antonius and high-stakes tables of Full Tilt Poker . Rush-million dollar occurred almost every day until 2010 that it was for Isildur1 a year with ups and downs.
Isildur1 began in 2010 with the final stage of an epic downswing. In November 2009 he had lost $ 4.1 million in one week, making it concluded that under the $ 1.2 million. That was even more surprising when you consider that the Swede had come to touch a net profit of $ 7 million. Between 6 and 7 December 2009 but was able to recover $ 3.5 million playing against different opponents. Just when it seemed it was reported on track lost $ 4.2 million against Brian Hastings the next night. A few days later, Isildur1 was bankrupt.
In February this year, has reappeared Isildur1 high-stakes tables and beat Justin "ZeeJustin" Bonomo for $ 567.515, the latter inflicting the greatest loss in a single day of his entire career. But the excitement does not end here. During 30 hours, Isildur1 managed to win $ 1,187,406! In true style Isildur1 that money did not last long.
In April, it was rumored that he made a public appearance at Isildur1 PartyPoker Big Game IV . It would have been Tony G to subsidize certain that Isildur1 saying he would play this event live. One day before the tournament but Isildur1 has pulled back. According to the blog of Tony G, Isildur1 would have sent a message that says: “Sry for not coming, take care bud.”
"Ero pronto a pagare il volo a Isildur1 e a tre suoi amici fino a Londra e tutto era pronto,” Tony G ha spiegato. “Lui ha detto che credeva gli stakes non fossero grandi abbastanza ma ci eravamo accordati per rendere la partita molto più ricca se lui fosse venuto!"
Non solo the G è stato indispettito dalla mossa offrendo il suo famoso "On your bike!" allo svedese, ma anche l’intero mondo del poker è stato deluso. Dopotutto, molti pensavano che avrebbero finalmente potuto scoprire l’identità del misterioso uomo.
Alla fine è però arrivato un inaspettato e clamoroso annuncio da parte di PokerStars which in December announced the engagement of Isildur1 as Team PokerStars Pro The announcement was especially surprising mainly because Isildur1 was a guest at the tables of Full Tilt Poker. Nevertheless, Isildur1 was clearly excited the change of the virtual table, saying, "I decided to join because PokerStars is the largest site and will be an exciting challenge. He has a great significance to know that I will play in a team alongside players such as Daniel Negreanu, Dario Minieri and Johnny Lodden. My goals are now to improve the game live for the next events, continue to focus on heads-up no-limit Hold'em ma anche cercare di sviluppare le mie abilità nelle partite pot-limit Omaha.”
Inoltre, l’arrivo di Isildur1 ha segnato anche l’inizio del SuperStar Showdown -- una serie di partite high-stakes heads-up su PokerStars. Il SuperStar Showdown si compone di una singola sessione di 2,500 mani a stakes da $50/$100 o superiori. Il 19 dicembre, Isildur1 ha affrontato Isaac "philivey2694" Haxton nella partita inaugurale. Sfortunatamente le cose non sono andate troppo bene per il Team PokerStars Pro che ha perso $41,701.
