He's one of the most Googled poker players in the world, but he rarely gives interviews. He's a bit shy but fearless on the tables. Viktor "Isildur1" Blom is a phenomenon, no doubt about it.
He famously burst onto the online scene, battling anyone and everyone on Full Tilt Poker back in 2009. Playing several tables at once, he took on Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonius all at once. The swings that he would go through were unheard of at the time and have not been replicated since. Railbirds were glued to their screens, high-stakes poker was alive and kicking.
