The mysterious online poker player Isildur1 has said he intends to file a complaint with Full Tilt Poker to receive reimbursement for monies lost during a poker game whereby the other party admitted to violating the rules.

On Tuesday, Full Tilt Poker announced it had suspended Brian Townsend's "red pro" status for a month after he admitted to using hand histories for hands he didn't play himself and, in the process, beating online poker phenom Isildur1 out of some $4 million.

In an exclusive interview with Poker News, Isildur1 expressed his frustration over what many say is "outright cheating":

"Yes, I do feel like I deserve to get something back," he told reporter Matthew Parvis.  "I feel that (Brian) Hastings had a big edge over me due to the hand history database. 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.

"Even though this information is not out there, since they admitted to sharing hand histories, how can I be sure that all three of them did not have input on the hands while we were playing?"

Isildur1 is among the most profitable online poker players in 2009.  His true identity is not known.
