I only heard about him winning the first two, where did you read about that third victory? BRM only told us about two strikes from Blom, you must have other sources, but at least you could have been more explicit when tolding us such big news like this, like what was the buy-in, the size of the field and the prize he got.

He didn't win the third one... He finished on 5th place... They posted an articule at PS School about that but ther said sth like "Isildur stop wining his third tournament".
I saw him playing on 2 one he won and also a little bit of the 5th place... Certainly he has improved a lot MTT skill!
Isildur has always been a good hold'em player, his huge downswings were mostly in pot limit omaha. Playing agressive and being able to isolate players is the best way to win MTTs in my opinion, so I think his style is good for this format. He's a really good HU player, and you need to be in order to win MTTs!
Must be hard to play against a guy who uses the overbet so well.

i think the question dude is trying to formulate here is the following : "will isildur become the first dude who wins 3 scoop tourneys in one series?" since i do not know the stats/info, i can't say was this ever achieved or no, but winning 2 titles is a great feat already, oh yeah i forgot to say pokerstars is rigged

an amazing achievement non the less. he always has been a great player since arriving on ftp and taking the nose bleed stakes by storm. i remember watching a few of his heads up games on there and being well impressed. wish i could be half as good.

It's very agressive. He plays overbet style and that's why it's very hard to play against him, and also to get a clue of which cards he is holding.
