The World Series of Poker website says of Blom:

Blom has reportedly been identified as the high-stakes cash game player named "Isildur1."  He enjoyed a stratsopheric rise and a meteoric fall over the past 18 months, enduring multi-million dollar swings in some of the biggest online poker games in history.  Until now, Blom had not made much of an impact at the World Series of Poker.  In fact, he has never cashed in a WSOP tournament of any kind.  However, his status as the chip leader in one of the most prestigious events of the year is certain to intensify global speculation and re-focus the spotlight on one of poker's most enigmatic personalities.
