The online poker community can’t help but marvel at the poker giant Isildur1, and members of PokerStars are invited to do it close up with the SuperStar Showdown.
Viktor Blom better known as Isildur1 is a name that has become synonymous with online poker success. Having made not just a name for himself, but The name as a high stakes giant, Isildur1 can be found regularly playing at PokerStars and what a sight it is too. Of course not content with putting this giant of online poker into regular games, PokerStars has actually developed a special tournament just for him, and of course his challengers.
The PokerStars SuperStar Showdown is just that; this is not a game of the light hearted, but it is open to anyone with the courage and the bankroll. Each SuperStar Showdown is a single 2,500 hand session played across four tables and with stakes of $50/$100 and higher. The successful player is the one who knocks out his opponent or who has the most chips at the end of the tourney. So far Isildur1 has been challenged by various hopefuls, but only two have successfully beaten him: Isaac Haxton back in December, and Daniel Negreanu in March.
Whilst members certainly need to have balls of steel to take part in this challenge, it is absolutely open to all members of the online poker community. You must of course have sufficient funds for such a game, and if you do you can simply email your challenge to [email protected]. If however you would rather approach the SuperStar Showdown as a spectator sport you can find the tournaments in the cash game lobby > Hold’em > No Limit/Pot/limit > Showdown.
