The name Isildur1 is one that keeps popping up in the online poker community and I find they background to this player highly entertaining. Not much is known about this unknown Swedish online poker player beside the fact that this guy is quickly and surely making a name for himself by having the biggest pair that one can find. The high stakes guys must really believe that the man has some sort of ring (cue Lord of the Rings music). Firslty, his names come the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and secondly he players like a guy on a mission to Mordor. Usually players go on sort of heater and the railbirds go wild but then variance as it usually does usually grabs them and they disappear, never to be heard or seen from again
Not Isildur1. He never went on a heater. He’s been constantly playing and has probably taking in around $4 million in the past couple of weeks.
This high stakes players generally plays in the $500 to $1000 Texas holdem and as with playing on tables as the such, he wins big and he looses big. What I do like about this player however is this: The other night he played with Phil Ivey and lost $900,00. Next were Cole South and Tom “durrr” Dwan. He won a cumulative pot of $710,000 of the two.Clearly, these games are just not enough for him. He went on to start playing six tables at once against various other poker pros and despite the multi table distraction he still took poker pro Patrick Antonius for around $330,000
For now – All we can ask is “Who is Isildur1?”
One thing I do want to add her is a chat from the 9th of Novemeber from in which Isildur1 and Dwan have a chat in which the arrange to play again straight after Isildur1 took $1.22 million off his opponent.
