Isildur1’s Big Debut Fizzles out in Defeat

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011

Oh dear…. I was so looking forward to Isildur1’s much hyped-up debut at Poker Stars that his defeat that the hands of challenger Isaac Haxton put a dampening on my Xmas weekend. The mystery Swedish pro signed up with the leading poker room and the much anticipated high stakes match was supposed to be his top notch entry to the site. However, Haxton took down the match after 2,500 hands – finishing with $41,000 in profit. Poker Stars hasn’t yet confirmed when Isildur’s next showdown challenger will be held and any hopes that the anonymous player’s identity will be released in the near feature have also been put to the side for now…

A man comes home from his weekly poker game. His nagging wife is waiting for him once again at the door: “Where the heck have you been??”

“Sorry,” replied her husband, “I just lost you in a poker game. You’ll have to leave.”

“How the hell did you manage that, you idiot?” she yelled.

“It wasn’t easy,” replied the man. “I had to fold a royal flush to succeed.”
