You can catch all the action at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Super High Roller event by following along with the live updates.
Perhaps no other player has garnered more interest here at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure than Viktor Blom. The 20-year-old Swede is thought by many to be the online phenom Isildur1. Isildur1’s identity has never been officially revealed, but the player was recently signed to Team PokerStars Pro.
PokerStars is expected to reveal his identity this weekend with a heads-up match against Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, but until then, we are left to speculate some more.
In the meantime, we were able to follow Blom for a full level and report on every hand he was dealt. Blom entered level 4 with 215,000 and after some selective aggression, especially against Sorel Mizzi, he finished the level up a respectable 18,500.
