Negreanu Isildur1 SuperStars Showdown Announced

The matchup between Daniel Negreanu and Viktor “Isildur1” Blom has finally been announced by PokerStars. Ever since the SuperStar Showdown was conceived and Daniel Negreanu started four-tabling heads up the rumours have abounded that these two would have their duel in the sun. After much back and forth these two will finally meet on two consecutive Sundays in March.

Open up your calendar and stick 15:00 (ET) March 20^th and March 27^th in there as you will be able to rail a contest that the marketing boys and girls at PokerStars have been drooling over for weeks. Just to repeat and for the scan-readers our there the dates are:

20^th March 15:00 ET

27^th March 15:00 ET

Viktor Blom or as he will probably always be known Isildur1 has been multi-tabling heads up probably since he could walk which is only a few years ago but relative grandad Negreanu has been working hard on his online game and has recorded several wins over illustrious opponents.

Negreanu has taken on Eugene Katchalov, who although not known for his heads up play is still a respected online player and came out with a lot of respect and a win. He has also taken on some very well respected players in zeejustin, nanonoko, bmwcoupe and fmylife and come out on top in most. Negreanu has commented previously about his efforts playing online and learning from th best:

“It’s all part of the learning process, and I’m a big believer in going all out against the fastest competition I can find, because then when I play others, the pace will seem comfortable,” he wrote. “It’s no different than a baseball player swinging five bats before he goes up to the plate, or a golfer taking some practice swings with a heavy club.”

For PokerStars high stakes addicts the opportunity to rail a match between one of the young guns and an old-school player who is looking to improve and is rapidly becoming a transitional player between the online and live poker worlds will be too good to miss. Negreanu is without a doubt giving up a serious edge playing four handed online but it will be a battle to remember.
