Viktor Blom Is The Real Isildur1

A press conference has been announced for 7PM on Saturday evening at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure tournament series taking place in the Bahamas. At the press conference PokerStars will officially reveal the identity of their newest team member, Isildur1.

Although it is all but certainly the young Swedish poker pro Viktor Blom who just happens to be taking part in the $100,000 Super-High-Roller tournament at the PCA today—Isildur1, and Viktor Blom, have done an excellent job of sowing just enough doubt to keep other theories alive. And keeping a secret like that in the poker world for well over a year is a feat in itself!

Isildur1 Signs Deal With PokerStars And Not With Full Tilt Poker

Despite setting Full Tilt Poker a buzz in late 2009 and early 2010, the celebrated poker maniac known as Isildur1 has now joined rival poker site PokerStars as one of their sponsored pros. Isildur1 originally gained notoriety as a player after appearing on Full Tilt almost from nowhere before then relieving Tom “Durrrr” Dwan and other top poker pros there of around $3 million of their bankrolls.

Isildur1 first came to notoriety in late 2009, when he began playing top professional players on Full Tilt Poker in games at nosebleed stakes. His swings soon became legendary, with weeks where the player won or lost millions of dollars seemingly becoming commonplace.

One of the most interesting facets of the Isildur1 story is the mystery of his identity. As it is known that Isildur1 is a Swedish player, much speculation has centered around poker pro Viktor Blom, a young player from Sweden who seems to have fit the profile of Isildur1. However, as of yet, there has been no confirmation that Viktor Blom is indeed the high-stakes player behind the screen name.
