Who is Isildur1 on Full Tilt Poker?
For several weeks now a player using the username Isildur1 has been tearing up the high stakes games on Full Tilt Poker. Last weekend Isildur1 took Tom “durrrr” Dwan for a few million dollars, and was at the tables again doing the same thing to many other pros for several hundred thousands this past weekend. According to several sites, Isildur1 is up over $6 Million this month alone playing the high stakes cash games on Full Tilt Poker.
For weeks people have been trying to figure out exactly who Isildur1 is, and finally some more legitimate reports are starting to surface about his possible identity. According to a german blog, Isildur1 is a sweedish poker player named Viktor Blom (who also plays under the username Blom90). Blom has a very interesting story. According to this site, Blom went from $2,000 to $1.4 Million in just 3 weeks! Blom is just 19 years old, and according to the translation of the German blog is still living with either friends or his parents in Gothberg, Sweden. Blom is currently nominated for Rookie of the Year at the Scandinavian Awards for Sweedish players.
According to the blog that claims Blom is Isildur1, this information was confirmed by another sweedish player, Jesper ‘Kipster’ Hougaard. Jesper learned that Blom was Isildur1′s neighbour Martonas while playing at the Master Classics of Poker in Amsterdam.
Regardless of who this player is I expect we will see a lot more of him on the poker tables given his recent success. This young kid may become the next Tom Dwan, considering he has dealt a huge blow to Durrrr’s bankroll.
You can catch Isildur1 at the high stakes tables on FullTiltPoker.com.
