Isildur1 IS Viktor Blom aka Blom90 – Its Confirmed 100%!
Well it has been two weeks since we broke the news that Isildur1 is in fact Swedish high-stakes poker star Viktor Blom. While some believed us and our sources, others disregarded our article and came up with their own silly theories such as it was ‘martonas’, or a fixed account created by Full Tilt Poker.
Now a few top professionals have come out of the woodwork and confirmed that, just like we reported, Isildur1 is Viktor Blom. Barry Greenstein has dropped several hints that it was the Blom, but now well-known poker pro Tony G has confirmed on his blog that it is definately Viktor Blom. Here is what he said:
“I don’t want to talk too much about Isildur1 but I can reveal to all it is Viktor and he crushed them on the iPoker network for some time. I actually played a few hands with him today and quite many on iPoker where my site TonyG Poker runs. I honestly respect this guy 100%. He has proved that he is the best player in the game right now; this is based on many, many hands on iPoker and Full Tilt Poker.
I have one tip for him – you are still young, the key to make it is zero tilt. You can never get upset about losing hands. Having the ability to play as you and Tom do, or anyone else, you have to have great self control and money management.
Anyway, LOL, I just wish I was half as good as Tom or Viktor but I am not in the same class. Plus I guess I am too old now to risk a few mill with no solid edge. I jumped in the 300/600 on Full Tilt and lost about 30k or so and did not feel good about playing so I am out of those games but I wanted to try it to see how it feels and have played a few hands over the last five days but it is of no value for me right now; maybe another time.”

So there you have it confirmed by a top poker pro who has close connections to Team Full Tilt. Like we reported in our original post, we were only 90% sure because we were trusting the word of our Swedish sources, but we are happy that we haven’t misled anyone and hopefully the doubters will believe us in future.
