A rivalry that has been on hold since last year was resumed recently when mystery poker phenomenon Isildur1 and US poker pro Brian Hastings met to play in an $500/$1,000 pot limit Omaha grudge match that was spread across six tables and 2,776 hands.
Brian Hastings won $4 million from Isildur1 late last year but his win was tainted by allegations that he had been using player notes taken by his buddy and Full Tilt Red Pro, Brian Townsend, on the faceless Swede. This recent game was seen as a chance for Isildur1 to restore justice.
Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on whose camp you’re in, there was no scandal this time and Hastings won yet again with Isildur1 paying out a jaw-stopping $1,445,177 to Hastings. This defeat is rumoured to have cleaned Isuldur1 out, again.
