"Isildur1" Same Person as "grolongo"?

There is much speculation about the identity of the mysterious 'grolongo', a Swedish account playing Pot Limit Omaha and No Limit Holdem at PokerStars and becoming more and more popular in cash game action.<br />

Admin - 2010. September 10.

Many people speculate that the man behind 'grolongo' is in fact the Swedish player Viktor Blom, known as 'Isildur1' at Full Tilt Poker.

'Isildur1' became a poker superstar in 2009, when he earned huge amounts of money, and played against the likes of Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius, to whom he lost the biggest pot in online poker history, $1,3 million.

'Isildur1' and 'grolongo' certainly appear to be the aliases of Viktor Blom to other players (including Brian '$tinger88' Hastings, who also engaged in a multi-table PLO battle against 'grolongo') judging from the same hyper-aggressive style and the constant switching between Pot Limit Omaha and No Limit Hold'em.

If you want to play against him, you might find him playing high stakes at PokerStars and Full Tilt tables.
