Although the contract is expected to be signed in a few days’ time, the identity of the player remains undisclosed, resulting in the assumption, shared by many in the poker player community, that he or she is most probably the mysterious ‘Isildur1.’
“This is not yet official, so unfortunately I cannot reveal his name or nick. But the person is 20 years old and has during the end of 2009 and the whole of 2010 become one of the poker world’s hottest topics. Some say that he is the best heads-up player in the world, and that he will soon take over the throne from Phil Ivey,” Shah writes, although many doubt the genuineness of his information.
Whatever the truth may be, it is a possibility that the pursuit of publicity is an important factor behind this story. If it does prove to be true, however, we are bound to find it out soon.
