Viktor Blom

Third on Sweden's all-time list and, as Isildur1, probably the most famous online screen name in poker history. Blom appeared on the high-stakes online tables in 2009 playing everyone at once for sums that made the rest of the game stop and watch, and swung millions in both directions inside weeks before his identity was public.

The live record is more measured but substantial: $7.72m, a best cash of $1,311,091, and a current all-time rank of 284th with a best of 264th. His Global Poker Index rank of 235th is the highest of any Swede on this list, which says he is still competing at a level the career totals alone do not show.

What stands out about his recent schedule is the game selection. At the 2026 WSOP he cashed in Limit T.O.R.S.E., 8-Game six-handed and the $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball Championship — three mixed and draw events, none of them Hold'em. The player known for the wildest no-limit action online now spends his summers in the games almost nobody else can play.
