The rumor of Isildur1 being signed by a major online poker room has been picked up by virtually every major poker portal and poker blog, which is astounding when you consider the rumor itself began with Swedish blogger Sohello "BankTheMan" Shah, on his blog Expressen.Se.
Shah doesn’t go into much detail, and doesn’t even mention Isildur1 or the poker room that is looking to sign the young Swedish phenom; instead Shah plays a game of 20 questions where he reveals basically everything about Isildur1 sans the name itself –even attaching a screen-shot of Isildur1’s Ninja avatar from Full Tilt Poker!
"This is not yet official, so unfortunately I cannot reveal his name or nick. But the person in 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 he is the best heads-up player in the world, and that he will soon take over the throne from Phil Ivey."
If the rumor is indeed true than the smart money would be on Isildur1 joining Full Tilt Poker considering the site has the highest stakes games in the world, and its doubtful Isildur1 wants to resign himself to a site with sporadic traffic at the nosebleed tables.
Some other possibilities include PokerStars, Party Poker, or less likely a site like Carbon Poker that recently added some high-stakes tables.
