Who is the real man behind the nick ‘Isildur1′ on Full Tilt? The question that  many poker fans have put themselves in recent months. An English poker journalist is now trying to find the answer.

He has been the man behind some of the biggest ups and downs in online poker history. He has challenged the biggest poker stars and beaten them while playing, for just  losing it all on the floor again after a few days.

‘Isildur1′ are among the biggest high stakes phenomena ever.

Despite plenty of rumors that it is the only 20-year-old online pro Viktor Blom, who is behind the nick and the ninja mask, he never even come up, and nobody knows who the young man really is.

Now is an English journalist from poker since Gutshot.com, taken to Sweden to find and interview Viktor Blom, which he, like many parts of the poker world are convinced is ‘Isildur1′.

It has brought a series of distinctive but also readworthy, articles out.

Interview with high school friends
The Englishman who goes by the name ‘LuckyJim’, took the trip to Uddevalla, where Viktor Blom said to have gone to high school. Here he moves in with a high school teacher and goes hunting for people who know the high stakes phenomenon.

It appears, however, easier said than done, since few people he meets, knows something of the young Swede. The Englishman has also set some rules up for how he will contact the Swede.

He will for example not contact his family or meet up at his home because he fears that it will scare Viktor Blom, or get him to believe that he is a stalker.

- He is friendly but shy
Instead, he contacted students at the high school where Viktor Blom went, and have also tackled a former high school buddy, describing Viktor Blom as a timid but friendly guy.

- He describes Blom, almost like a saint: Slow to trust others, shy around strangers, sometimes very drunk, but nice, honest, charismatic, well dressed and attractive, he writes in the blog.

The friend believes that the reason why Victor Blom would not stand out as ‘Isildur1′ is that he fears not being able to continue the life he has now if the people around him know how much money he plays on.

- He said he believed that Blom was worried that if people knew he had money, it would ruin his life. He has no interest in being famous. He will retain his normal life as a wealthy 19-year-old, without being forced to move to Monaco or stay behind a high steel fence. He wants to continue to hang out with his usual friends, he writes in the blog.

Along the way there will be several new informations obtained about Viktor Blom, like the writer makes himself some thoughts on who Viktor Blom really is.

- He passed high school with bad grades who could not get him on campus, he says, among other things, and continues:

- But Blom is also indifferent to studies and employment.

Behind Isildur1 blog
So far, only three published articles, and the hunt ends with that ‘LuckyJim’ draw against Gothenburg to visit Viktor Blom.

Recently, a blog that were allegedly written by ‘Isildur1′ appeared on several poker forums. Evidence suggests, however, that it instead is made by the English journalist, as he imagines Viktor Blom, would have written it.

At gutshot.com where the blog is also available, described it as ‘Isildur1′ as customs town LuckyJim.
