After many months of speculation and one of the worst kept secrets in the poker industry, it was officially confirmed today that Isildur1 is in fact Viktor Blom.PokerStars had announced that Isildur1's identity would be revealed at the 2011 PCA and his first official live sponsored tournament would be the $100k buy-in Super High Roller event. And yet at the start of play, there was no Swedish player entered in the event. Showing up a couple hours late and taking the seat of the first busted out player was none other than 20 year old swede Viktor Blom. He was seated with Daniel Negreanu, Sorel Mizzi, Ashton Griffin, and two of the early chip leaders Nick Schulman and Vivek Rajkumar.
PokerStars is choosing to withhold the official announcement for a Saturday night promotional event they have planned, but any charade that Isildur1 wasn't Viktor Blom is over.
Viktor "Isildur1" Blom is current 1-1 in his 2,500 hand Superstar Showdowns with Tony G requesting a rematch and David "Viffer" Peat indicating his interest in playing a live version of the heads up match.
