aren't europeans in general not the type to want to be famous? from what i've read, that seems to be the case. you'll have your exceptions everywhere but it seems to be mostly us arrogant americans who desire the spotlight.

Luke Schwartz fits that category perfectly.

If only that were true! Sadly, Katie Price aka Jordan does exist.

Nice video Jimm, thanks for posting.

I think it would be boring if it ever came out officially that Viktor was Isildur, I just love the mystery surrounding it all.

Not sure where else I can post this nice hand from Day 2 since the earlier WSOPE threads have been locked:
Viktor Blom (aka Isildur1) knocks out Jason Gray


Some funny chat from Blom's tablemates on this one -

"That's how he beat Durrr"
"Kinda disappointed to see he actually had a hand..."

What were the hands and the board? A little hard to see.

Oh nevermind.

Aye, nothing wrong with wanting to steer clear of the lime light. I'm sure it's probably different for some seasoned live tournament players, but I know that I wouldn't want to talk to some interviewers seconds after busting... so I certainly can't argue with Blom for skipping a chat.

I think Americans are just more used to having such a blatant corporate culture, where advertising and sponsorship is so in your face and accepted.

A lot of the British/European players seem to be a lot more reserved, and maybe more realistic in the poker world.

Big respect for Viktor Blom not selling out and becoming a media whore. Its why I also have a lot of respect for Prahlad Friedman too.

Look how rare it has become for a high stakes player not to have a big sponsorship deal, and be all over the tv seeking the limelight, its very sad.

I am a fan of Prahlad to but = him with isildur shunning the spotlight is a bit of a stretch.

pretty sick. he's fun to rail. hope he shows up in more tourneys and makes some more deep runs. the coverage yesterday was pretty boring. only made it to the feature table after ivey busted. the action at the table was all raise, 3 bet - fold. which i can understand that late in the tourney just boring to rail.

also speaking of prahlad i made fun of his bad stuff gotta give him props when he makes a good track: http://moby.to/1p8ctr

interesting guy. Thanks luckyjimm for the "coverage" and videos.

The guy is a hero. It's funny that he gets a ****load attention while he doesn't really care.
10 times a better human being than a Phil Helmuth who is craving with attention with his ridiculous WSOP entrances, but is a terrible player nowadays.
