Isai Scheinberg, PokerStars' founder and former owner, outlasted a field of 14 other players to claim the £13,850 first prize in the UK & Ireland Poker Tour Isle of Man High Roller (£2,220 buy-in). Scheinberg was extremly anonymous during his 14 years at PokerStars (the company was sold to Amay Gamging for $4.9 billion a few months ago).
Instead of being in the spotlight he preferred to let the cameras and media focus on the players. Let's hope that we will see and hear more about him now after his largest recorded tournament cash!
