Isildur1 becomes member team Pokerstars Pro

With multi-million dollar swings in the biggest games anywhere online, no single player has had more of an impact on the world of poker in recent times than Isildur1. This is the player who came from out of nowhere to compete against the stars of the game at the nosebleed stakes, and the player who’s been involved in most of the biggest ever pots played online. There have been massive upswings in the good weeks, and crushing downswings during the dark times. And all of this in the space of just a few months. But despite all the attention, the endless forum threads and the scores of column inches written online and in magazines, the truth about Isildur1’s real identity has somehow managed to remain a mystery. Is Isildur1 a seasoned pro out to prove they can cut it in the high stakes games online? How about a young hotshot with enough skills and guts to take on the best and come out on top? Or maybe it’s none of the above. Whoever this player really is, they are a member of Team PokerStars Pro and play online using the infamous screen name ‘Isildur1’.

Online qualifier Michael Eiler wins EPT Vienna Main Event

All eyes were on Daniel Negreanu as he took a big chip lead into the eight-handed final table with his eyes on poker’s Triple Crown *(EPT, WPT, WSOP bracelet). Unfortunately Daniel finished 4th after a slowroll by fellow Pokerstars Pro Martin Hruby (see video below).

The heads-up duel came down to a coin flip, with Eiler shoving all-in with AT and Hruby calling with 22. The KJ8 flop gave Eiler a flush and left Hruby drawing virtually dead. Hruby failed to improve and had to settle for second, while the 20 year-old German claimed the title and the top prize of over $975,000.

1st: Michael Eiler – €700,000
