Who is Isildur1? Is he Martonas? Mohamad “TheTerrorist” Kowssarie maybe? Lately everybody has been sure that Isildur1 indeed is Blom, but when Bluff Europe asked him if he is behind the nickname he answered “I am not the one you are looking for. Keep searching”.

Viktor “I’m not Isildur1!” Blom

So the question goes, is Viktor Blom Isildur1 or not? If there is some truth in this conversation between Isildur1 and Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies, the young Swede behind Isildur1 is indeed Blom or perhaps there is another high stakes player called Viktor in Sweden, which I highly doubt:

Isildur1: who s the little scared fa g starts lipimg every hand cos hes up
Isildur1: fckn clown
Ziigmund: how long u have been around here
Ziigmund: u r losing after this year if u continue f ag
Isildur1: well see, u keep hit n rn me and limping
Ziigmund: haha
Ziigmund: nono
Ziigmund: joking
Ziigmund: u r nice guy
Ziigmund: and pretty viktor
Isildur1: lol
Ziigmund:
Isildur1: can u atlest reload finnish superstar
Ziigmund:

Then why lie? One reason is obviously avoiding taxing laws in Sweden. Poker winnings from non-EU based poker sites, like Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars are taxable income in Sweden.

Any other reason don’t sound plausible for me, as top players usually know or at least want to know who they are playing against. I don’t think players like Tom Dwan, Patrik Antonius or Sahamies would play against Isildur1 if they didn’t know who they are playing against.

Even though Viktor Blom himself denies that he is not behind Isildur1, I don’t think this new “revelation” will stop the rumors which says Blom is behind the nickname. Why would it? If he is Isildur1 and he is trying to avoid the taxes, then that is what he would say if people ask him is he Isildur1 at Full Tilt.

Maybe he someday moves to Monaco or some other taxfree country and reveals that he is Isildur1. Until then, the true identity of Isildur1 will remain “secret” (that everybody almost certainly knows).
