isi will not give it all back. he was 8 million up last week and had a bad day losing 3. I am surprised they are sat with him now they know who it is as he really isnt a fish and is considered one of the best heads up players in the world.

So is it gulkines?

11/18/09 - The Full Tilt online poker tables in the high stakes area were abuzz last night as Isildur1 - the successful mystery player whom many believe to be Swedish player Viktor Blom - appeared for more action and was challenged by Finn Patrik Antonius, undeterred by his substantial earlier losses.




In the event it proved to be quite an evening with the mystery maven dropping around $2.4 million and a new record for an online poker pot being established over the nine hours and well over 2 000 hands that were played. It was a great session for Antonius, who took home over $2.4 million and the distinction of winning online poker's biggest pot yet.

Isildur1's successful run over the past few days in particular came to an end when he and Antonius faced off across four $500/$1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha tables. Highlights of the big money action were no fewer than six pots of over $500 000 each, another six over $400 000...and that monster record pot of $878 959, which Antonius made his own after an exciting passage of play that began with almost even stacks held by both players.

Adding even more spice to the evening, Antonius and Isildur1 at one point switched to the $500/$1,000 NLHE tables, where Antonius continued to crush his gutsy opponent, this time for $275 000, according to the independent poker statistics site MarketPulse.


Victor Blom ?

although with tax at over 50% on poker players i am sure an announcement will shortly be made from scandiland saying nope not me ;)

then in the future when he moves to monte carlo/london or wherever he will admit it.

Isildur1: what ? :)
Phil Ivey: yep

Isildur1: u beted on me ? how much ?

Isildur1: ok, yeah i do my best

Phil Ivey: not that big but taking 10 to 1 its pretty big

Isildur1: only win counts ?
Phil Ivey: yeah

Isildur1: ok

Not sure if 10-1 is a fair price tbh, all depends who he gets in the first round. I'd want higher personally.
