Amazing news! Isildur1, the world's most infamous high stakes online cash game player, has joined the world's largest poker site, PokerStars, and now it's probably just a matter of days till we finally get to know his real identity. Well, at least if we should believe the information on PokerStars website. It will be interesting to see if Isildur1 actually is Viktor Blom from Sweden. Many respectable poker players pros have claimed so since he started showing up at Full Tilt's highest tables.
"I chosed to join PokerStars because it's the world's biggest poker site and also because it's a thrilling challenge. It means a lot to me to be part of a team with players such as Daniel Negreanu, Dario Minieri and Johnny Lodden. My goal is to develop my live game and continue focusing on No Limit Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha." said Isildur1 in an interview.
Who is Isiludr1? (text taken from PokerStars website)
With multi-million dollar swings in the biggest games anywhere online, no single player has had more of an impact on the world of poker in recent times than Isildur1. This is the player who came from out of nowhere to compete against the stars of the game at the nosebleed stakes, and the player who's been involved in most of the biggest ever pots played online. There have been massive upswings in the good weeks, and crushing downswings during the dark times. And all of this in the space of just a few months. But despite all the attention, the endless forum threads and the scores of column inches written online and in magazines, the truth about Isildur1's real identity has somehow managed to remain a mystery. Is Isildur1 a seasoned pro out to prove they can cut it in the high stakes games online? How about a young hotshot with enough skills and guts to take on the best and come out on top? Or maybe it's none of the above. Whoever this player really is, they are a member of Team PokerStars Pro and play online using the infamous screen name ‘Isildur1'.
did get a name after playing HS over at FT, but dont forget he was also cheated, the site recongnised this and took little action and never compensated him for being cheated by FTs own sponserd players. So does not supprise me that he wouldent get sponsership from FT or possably turned them down.
