    Keeping him anonymous is very good marketing too, i think its a great move by stars, and now they can compete with FTP's Cash action.

    Wow, I was expecting this to be a joke or April 1st. Seems very strange but obviously involves stars trying to drum up some publicity and try and muscle in on the biggest stakes cash action. All round very very weird news.

    The SuperStar Showdown, sounds really interesting, especially with what pokerstars has done with making it a top class railing experience. Can't wait for the 19th of December.

    This also opens up fro Isildur1 in either the Big Game og High Stakes Poker. But if it's indeed Viktor Blom that is behind Isildur1, then we have to wait, because he is not turned 21 yet.

    They say that his identity is likely to be exposed before the PCA.

    Definitely one of the top poker-stories this year!

    I think "wow" just about sums this up.

    Very smart move by stars, if a bit late as Drawing Dead said.
    The guys an attention magnet.
    Stars will have to bung him some serious money on the QT!
    All this stuff about Fulltilt pros only playing on Fulltilt and vice versa, rather kills the action though.
    Whos he going play on PS for high stakes?

    WTF. This is insane news. But I thought he would of singed up with FTP. He won't be able to take Dwans $$$ unless Dwan has a PS account?
    Can't wait to see who the real isildur1 is! But someone posted out before that if it is Viktor Blom then he is too young to be seen on HSP or Big Game. Which is a nacker!!! Would love to see Blom blow tons of $$$ playing HSP with Dwan, Ivey, Brunson, Negreanu, Antionius.

    Insane news.
