With Isildur1 not being available through conventional means of communication, Drag the Bar's CEO, Hunter Bick, has issued a press release asking the anonymous player to contact him. The website offers him a coaching position that is endowed with $250,000 if they reach an agreement. 

In case Isildur1 enters negotiations, he is asked to transfer $5 to the account "BeachJustice" on Full Tilt Poker. 

Isildur1 made a name for himself at the end of last year when he managed to be involved in the ten largest hands ever played in online poker history, all within two months. 

His true identity has not been revealed so far, even though rumour has it that he is the Swede Viktor Blom, who plays using this alias. Blom has denied these speculations.

His new potential employer also seems uninterested in revealing the mystery. They have offered to keep Isildur1's anonymity, if he agrees to do coaching lessons for them.

In early April, Isildur1 was expected to participate in the PartyPoker Big Game IV in London, but canceled it last minute.
