Though Isildur1 player names have popped up on the microstakes tables at PokerStars, Absolute, and PartyPoker … there\’s one new player over at Betfair — Omlphalotus — that looks possibly to be the real Isildur attempting to work on his game / shore up his bankroll.
From our friends at the Betfair blog:
Firstly, the player in question is Swedish – the same nationality as Isildur1 – and is certainly playing the type of nosebleeds stakes expected from the most talked about online player for years.. A railbird told me he was seen recently with just under 400k at the tables waiting for action at some 250/500 and 100/200 NL HU tables.

Other factors that have stoked this rumour include railbirds noticing Omlphalotus playing a similar style to Isildur1 as well as enjoying long sessions multi-tabling.
More details here from a site with an arguably less-compromised interest in pimping high-stakes games on Betfair.
Also: a $27k Omlphalotus suckout.
NOTE: Omphalotus (without the extra 1/l) is a funky-looking but poisonous mushroom.
