PokerStars SuperStar Showdown: Negreanu VS Isildur1

Tags: daniel negreanu, isildur1, pokerstars superstars showdown, viktor blom.
Posted on 11 March 2011 by "T".

For quite some time the Canadian PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu has been talking about whether or not he should take on Viktor "Isildur1" Blom in PokerStars SuperStar Showdown. Now, after something that has felt like a never-ending wait, it's finally official that there will be a game between these poker giants!

The challenge will be played 2 Sundays this month; March 20 and 27th at 15:00 ET. Both players will bring a bankroll of $150,000 and sit down at 4 $50/$100 No Limit Holdem tables and play 2,5000 hands - or until someone has lost the entire bankroll.

This will for sure be 2 heads-up matches to remember for a long time! Viktor Blom has lost a lot of money lately and he badly needs to win some cash now. Daniel Negreanu, on the other hand has been playing very well lately and he just finished in 37th place in The Big Event Main Event. Nagreanu has also been seen playing multiple NLH tables at the lower stakes at PokerStars lately. A clear sign that he's preparing for the challenge against Viktor Blom, who many claim is the best NLH heads-up player in the world.

Daniel needs inspiration, he should look at the movie "When We Were Kings". Something about an older boxer defeating a young monster who could punch so hard he could knockout an elephant. Go Daniel!

Are you for real? Look at high stakes poker (all seasons) and you will see how lucky he is!

My bet goes that some one will loose his bankroll before playing 25k hands.. but I am going for isildur1 negreanu is very good at cash but not better then isildur1
 ZmxPowah13/03/2011 18:03:40 GMT
I like Negranu... but online.... never saw him played online and this is bad for him.
Also they wan't Isildur to be "best" so Daniel can loose to Isildur because they want too... who knows.
 loddar_m14/03/2011 17:33:15 GMT
