The roller coaster ride that is being Isildur1, has meant the highs of beating Tony G in the second SuperStar Showdown and being up there on day 2 of the EPT Deauville. In between there’s been the loss of around $500k on PokerStars to go with the feds chasing him for $150 million in back taxes though.
Isildur1 has used the spotlight on him at the current EPT event to announce his next opponent in the SuperStar Showdown ring – Dan “Jungleman12” Cates. It will be the usual challenge rules, which means 2,500 hands of $50/$100 over four tables on the PokerStars site, and anyone is welcome to watch the proceedings taking place.
Each player has a bank roll of $150k and the man with the most left is the winner. Jungleman12 is currently beating Tom Dwan’s ass in the durrrr Challenge II by more than $800k and will hope that he can be equally lucky against Viktor Blom.
The match up will take place this Sunday, January 30, at 5:30 ET on PokerStars and it will be interesting to see whether the two players will engage in more of the same trash talking that has gone on between the two recently.
