Isildur1 will sit down in the cash game, which runs for 48 hours straight, to face off against Tony G himself, Luke Schwartz, Phil Laak, Jennifer Tilly, Isaac Haxton and others.
A blog from Tony G is expected at some point later today with details, but when initially offered , "The G" not only offered to stake Isildur1 in the game, but also to pay for his flights, hotels and expenses while in town. It's unclear whether Isildur1 will be revealing his identity, or whether he will be wearing a mask or disguise.
One thing is clear: an appearance by Isildur1 makes the upcoming PartyPoker Big Game IV one of the most anticipated events in recent memory.
