|
Now that Viktor "Isildur1" Blom and Pokerstars have officially parted ways, the "Superstar Showdown" has come to an end.
Shortly after inking a sponsorship deal with Blom, Pokerstars announced the introduction of the "Superstar Showdown". The "Superstar Showdown" would pit "Isildur1" against some of the very best players in the world. Four tables would be played at once during the matches, with the winner being the player who was ahead after 2,500 hands.
In total, 14 "Superstar Showdown" matches were played during the time that "Isildur1" was sponsored by Pokerstars. The first "Superstar Showdown" match (December 19th, 2010) pitted Blom against Isaac Haxton, while the last match (April 2nd, 2012) was a Blom vs Haxton rematch.
The "Superstar Showdown" went very well for "Isildur1", as he ended up going 11-3 and posting a cumulative profit of $1,194,630. His biggest win came over Isaac Haxton ($500,000), while his biggest loss came against Haxton as well ($41,701).
