Isildur1 to Play PartyPoker Big Game

Will Isildur1 be revealed as Victor Blom?

Online sensation Isildur1 will play in the upcoming PartyPoker.com Big Game IV but it’s anybody’s guess as to whether the unknown player’s identity will be revealed.

Earlier this month Tony G offered to stake Isildur1 if the unknown player made an appearance at the Big Game and the Team PartyPoker pro confirmed today that Isildur1 will play the game.

"I really can't wait," said Tony G. "This is going to be the biggest poker event in history."

It isn't clear if Isildur1's identity will actually be discovered since organizers offered to let him wear a mask in the game.

"It was important to me that Isildur1 made his first major TV appearance on one of our shows," said Eddie Hearn, managing director of Matchroom Sport. "Tony and I have worked hard to ensure this happened and we are delighted to welcome him to The PartyPoker.com Big Game IV."

The Big Game IV will offer several new innovations this year with the ability to vote out one player every two hours and entrance music for each competitor, which is chosen by fans.

Already confirmed for the event are Tony G, Luke "Full Flush" Schwartz, Phil Laak, Isaac Haxton, Neil Channing, Jennifer Tilly and Laurence Grondin.

The Big Game IV is scheduled to take place April. 11-13 at the Les Ambassadeurs club in Mayfair, London. The action will be broadcast on Five in the UK later this year.
