The mysterious online player emerging from nothing, owned the high stakes cash game tables for a few years and had many great moments, being ultra-aggressive and fearless, he generated pots way above $1 million. Now he has signed with PokerStars, and seems to be very happy about it:
"I chose to join PokerStars because it's the biggest site and it will be an exciting challenge," Isildur1 says. "It means a great deal to be playing in a team alongside players such as Daniel Negreanu, Dario Minieri and Johnny Lodden."
According to the PokerStars blog [5], Isildur1 might reveal his true identity before the PCA [6] in January, but it is not at all sure. Until then, he will be playing at PokerStars.com as 'Isildur1', and can be followed on twitter as @realisildur1. The whole world is excited about this, and wonders whether he is really Viktor Blom or not. The shadow in the hoodie sure looks like him.
He also takes challangers, so if you think you can you could beat him at the Isildur1 SuperStar Showdown, go ahead and register to register to PokerStars [3], and visit the promotion's page [7].
"A SuperStar Showdown is a high stakes, heads-up match consisting of a single session of 2,500 hands. The match is played across four tables of No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha, at stakes no lower than $50/$100. The winner is the player that shows either a profit after 2,500 hands, or wins all of their opponent’s match bankroll." - According to PokerStars blog.
