Who Is Isildur1?
Who Is Isildur1?
For those who do not follow high stakes cash games online I will tell you that during the last couple of weeks there has been some amazing action going on. From nowhere a young Swedish player known as Isildur1 has been taking on the best high stakes players at Full Tilt Poker.
He first started destroying players at $25/$50 before moving up to play nosebleed stakes against the giants of the online world such as Phil Ivey, Tom “Durrr” Dwan and Patrik Antonius. To say he was running “hot” was a vast understatement because at first he was simply destroying all who played against him.
During his first 10 days at Full Tilt Poker he won an amazing $5 million! He has played Durrr at NLHE & PLO and is reportedly up over $6 million. It seems though the winnings from Durrr were simply being transferred to Ivey & co as these players seem to be getting the better of Isildur1 so far.
After the 10 day heater it seemed Isildur1 was falling back to earth with a bang. Reports suggested his 6 million profit had slumped to as little as $300k as he took what can only be described as a battering by Ivey, Antonius and especially Ilari “Zigmund” Sahamies. Many thought this was the end of Isildur1 as his winnings were being quickly eroded. This though seems not to be the case!
Isildur1 seems to be adjusting his game and during the last few days there are no doubt that he is getting the better of Antonius. Reports also suggest that he has taken Durrr for another 2 to 3 million. Isildur1 though is still losing heavily to Zigmund.
So who is Isildur1? The general consensus is that Isildur1 is Viktor Blom (also known under “Blom90″ on i-Poker) although this has not been confirmed. We hope to have further news in the next few days so please check back soon!
