It’s happened. The enigmatic Swede is back at the tables, much to the delight of poker players across the globe.

He's back.

In the last three days, Isildur1 has won more than $1.6 million, including about $451,000 off nemesis Brian Hastings — who controversially teamed up with Brian Townsend to take $4 million from Isildur1 in December.

So far, Isildur1 is playing a lot of $300/$600 pot-limit Omaha and $200/$400 no-limit hold’em, not far from the $500/$1,000 games we were so used to seeing him play toward the end of last year.

After being spotted struggling at the lower stakes games a few days ago, it’s pretty obvious Isildur1 has found a backer — someone willing to stake him to take on the pros who thinks Isildur1 has an edge on them.

Whatever the case, I’m glad he’s back, the poker world is just much more interesting with him in it.
