Daniel “Kid Poker” Negreanu might be the face of PokerStars, but seemingly makes no sense for him in the latest installment of the SuperStar Showdown series. In recent memory, it was the most awaited Isildur1 match, but unluckily turned out the other way that everyone thought it would be.
Over the weekend, Viktor “Isildur1” Blom, the Swedish online high stakes poker ace drew first blood and $150,000 in the first two heads up challenges against Daniel “Kid Poker” Negreanu in just 1,439 hands
Some people might be thinking if it is just a result of a bad play or bad cards? Well, maybe it has not been the best of days for poker pro Daniel “Kid Poker” Negreanu. The Canadian Poker pro posted on his blog that he had been booted from Los Angeles Crown Plaza Hotel behind pre – booking his room to attend a poker tournament.
Kid Poker posted his comment with disappointment on twitter saying that, “This has been pretty disgusting so far. Can't imagine running any worse. Lost the match in 1439 hands. In 20k + pots he beat me 12-2 and I ran 44k under par in all in pots again.”
With a magnificent win, Isildur1 has managed to eat away at some of his $400K plus losses he's obtained since participating in the world's largest online poker room, PokerStars last year.
The showdown will resume on March 27 from the situation where it ended on March 20 and they will play another 2,500 hands more. Kid Poker has already prepared for the showdown, and he's been four tabling $5/$10 NLHE against different good players like Randy “Nanoko” Lew, Justin “ZeeJustin” Bonomo etc. with some good outcome.
Actually, there was a speculation earlier that a depressed Negreanu had been cleaned out and may not be able to attend the second clash. Even so, he afterward split this saying in his tweet that, “OK, officially shook off the loss. Back to the grind this week and a rematch with a fresh 150k next week.” .
