The first PokerStars Superstar Showdown is in the books and it was Isaac Haxton who came out victorious against Isildur1 in the 2,500 hand challenge match where the two were playing four tables of $50/$100 No limit Holdem simultaneously.
It looked like the heads-up No Limit Holdem specialist Isildur1 was going to cruise to a victory, as roughly halfway through the match he was up in the neighborhood of $30,000. However, from this point on it was all Isaac Haxton, and Isildur1’s fellow Team PokerStars Pro not only erased the $30k deficit, but turned a profit of $41,000.
With the $10,000 awarded to the winner of the Superstar Showdown matches Haxton’s total take was $51,000.
According to the PokerStars blog we can expect the next Superstar Showdown sometime after the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) concluded in January –Isildur1’s next opponent has yet to be named, but judging by the blog we may find out the mystery Swede’s true identity in the near future, see for yourself:
Expect to see another Isildur1 SuperStar Showdown following the PCA, where his secret identity may or may not be revealed as he rides into the Atlantis on the back of a dolphin. Or rappels down the Coral Tower. Or flies headfirst down the water slide.
