Major Room Sponsorship for Isildur1?

On the blog of the Swedish expressen.se site, high stakes blogger Sohello ’BankTheMan’ Shah claims that a “20 years old” person, who “has during the end of 2009 and the whole of 2010 become one of the poker world’s hottest topics,” is going to sign a sponsorship contract with one of the major online poker rooms.

While it is assumed that the deal is going to be completed in a couple of days, the identity of the player remains hidden, which leads many of the poker community to the assumption that he or she must be the (over)mystified ‘Isildur1’.

“This is not yet official, so unfortunately I cannot reveal his name or nick. But the person is 20 years old and has during the end of 2009 and the whole of 2010 become one of the poker world’s hottest topics. Some say that he is the best heads-up player in the world, and that he will soon take over the throne from Phil Ivey,” Shah writes, although many doubt the genuineness of his information.

Well, I guess we are just about to find it out.
