Pokernews.com finally tracked down the most wanted man in poker right now and got an interview with the high stakes phenom Isildur1. He still won't reveal his identity and says only that he is indeed from Sweden, and for now he only wants to talk about the controversial session with Brian Hastings where he lost more than $4 million to the CardRunners pro. Isildur1 thinks that he was beaten by unfair means and that he is entitled to some sort of compensation.


Isildur1 says that he had not played much with Hastings, but a lot with South and Townsend prior to the $4m session.

"The last session where Hastings won all the money, it just felt like something was wrong," Isildur1 says to Pokernews.com. "At the time, I just thought it was crazy luck."

Isildur1 thinks that Hastings had an unfair advantage over him thanks to the database collected by Brian Townsend (see his blog entry here). Less than half of the data came from Townsend's own sessions with Isildur1, even though using shared hand histories is prohibited in Full Tilt Poker's Terms of Service.

"I do feel like I deserve to get (some money) back," he says to Pokernews.com. "They were able to dissect the exact way I was playing because they analyzed the hands so precisely, and it was impossible for me to adjust, as I had no idea they were doing it."

Isildur1 says that he will ask Full Tilt Poker to look further into the matter, and in the meantime he's not planning on playing much on the site. So, if nothing else, you can blame the CardRunners trio for killing the most interesting games ever seen online...

"I have never studied books, or watched videos. I always have just played poker and played with every player who wanted to play me. To be honest, I never even studied my own hand histories," Isildur1 says of his own progress as a player.
