PokerStars pro Isildur1 scores victory against Tony G in second SuperStar Showdown

After his defeat against poker pro Isaac Haxton in December, the mysterious Team PokerStars Pro Isildur1 took on the infamous Antony “Tony G” Guoga on the latest edition of the SuperStar Showdown held on January 2. Mr Guoga stepped forward to challenge the online poker 'phenom', and this time, Isildur1 emerged the victor to send Tony G on his bike.

The first all-in came after only 12 minutes of play, and the action continued in that vein from start to finish. SuperStar Showdown's virtual rail was rapidly populated followers and fans, including Team Poker Stars Pros Daniel Negreanu, Arnaud Mattern, Lex Veldhuis, Nacho Barbero and David Williams. Isildur1 eventually finished $44,820 in profit, most of his money coming from the Pot Limit Omaha tables.

In the SuperStar Showdown, both players commit to a single 2,500-hand session beginning on four tables with minimum stakes of $50/$100. Each table lasts for 625 hands and in this instance, Isildur1 and Tony G played two tables of No Limit Hold'em (Tables 1 and 2) and two tables of Pot Limit Omaha (Tables 3 and 4).
