Daniel Cates Believes Isildur Uses 'martonas' Nick?

Apparently Daniel 'jungleman12' Cates believes the Swedish 'martonas' to be just another alias for <a href="http://www.rakerace.com/poker-rooms/pokerstars/">PokerStars</a>' pro, Viktor 'isildur1' Blom. Martonas plays on <a href="http://www.rakerace.com/poker-rooms/full-tilt-poker/">Full Tilt Poker</a>, this is why it's a sensitive issue Cates raised.

Martonas at the table

Martonas is a Swedish player who appeared out of nowhere in the Summer of 2009. With no history with Full Tilt, he challenged top pros right away. He earned more than $2,5 million. This time around he wasn't running so good, he lost around $130,000 (according to HighstakesDB) during his clash with 'jungleman12' recently. According to many players, his style is very similar to Viktor Blom's, this is what Cates expressed in the following chat:

This, of course doesn't mean that jungleman accused Blom with the breach of his contract to PokerStars, however, it's always interesting to see such speculation by top pros.
