There's been a whirlwind of speculation among the railbirds and forum-ites regarding the real-life identity of Isildur, and the name most often thrown around is Viktor Blom, a 20-year-old Swedish wunderkind of sorts. Blom vehemently denies the rumors, but that hasn't exactly quelled the chatter.
We first bumped into Blom at the WSOPE last fall, and he has been absent from the tournament scene since then, as far as we're aware. It was a pleasant surprise, then, to see Blom's name atop the registration list for today's flight. He is indeed here, sporting a Rocky Balboa shirt and sitting at a table with Juha Helppi and Ricky Fohrenbach. We'll keep an eye on him today and hope to grab an interview, but we won't presume to guess he's ready to give away any information if he is indeed the newest nosebleed phenom.
