Someone posted a link on 2+2 to a very recent Dang Bros interview where they said they had bought a large piece of Durrr in the last battles he had vs isildur which cost them $3million. They subsequently had to move down to $50-100 from the $500/1000k they were playing.

I also think Galfond had a large piece.

link please

Matchroom Sport and PartyPoker are delighted to announce the huge news that mysterious high stakes poker legend Isildur1 will be making his TV debut at the PartyPoker.com Big Game IV at Les Ambassadeurs club in Mayfair, London on April 11-13. The legendary cash game will take place at the prestigious venue for 48 hours straight!

The poker world has been speculating on the identity of the man whose high stakes battles with Tom "Durrrr" Dwan, Ziigmund and Patrick Antonius have held the online community spellbound. In a recent blog, Matchroom Sport managing director Eddie Hearn issued an invitation to Isildur1 to take part in the Big Game, and after joining forces with his backer, Team Party pro Tony G, the speculation will end as Isildur1 sits down in Mayfair.

"It was important to me that Isildur1 made his first major TV appearance on one of our shows," said Hearn. "Tony and I have worked hard to ensure this happened and we are delighted to welcome him to the PartyPoker.com Big Game IV. Even without an identity, Isildur1 has become the biggest name in poker within six months of high stakes online action. Quite simply, this will be the most hotly anticipated poker show of all time."

A PartyPoker.com spokesman said: "Please note this is not an April fool, Isildur1 has joined the line-up!"

The PartyPoker.com Big Game IV has a new presenting sponsor in the form of PokerNews.com. As part of the deal, PokerNews.com will have branding at the event and the bonus PartyPot offered to players every hour will now be the PokerNews pot. PokerNews.com is also offering two freeroll seats to play in the game. A 'weakest link style' eviction process will take place during the game where one player can evicted from the table and for the very first time the players will be coming to the tables with walk-on music! PokerNews.com will be hosting a forum where players get to decide what record they want the players to walk in to. For example, Tony G could be 'Back in the USSR,' by The Beatles, Isildur1 could be 'Sweet Little Mystery' by Wet, Wet, Wet - Luke 'FullFlush' Schwartz could be 'Teenage Dirtbag,' by Wheatus. How about Neil Channing? 'I am a Rock' by Simon and Garfunkel? The debate and decision making starts soon on PokerNews.com.

Isildur1 joins a line-up that includes Team PartyPoker.com's Tony G, Premier League IV runner-up Luke "Full Flush" Schwartz, World Open V champion and Premier League hotshot Phil Laak, serial WSOP casher Isaac Haxton, Neil Channing, Laurence Grondin and Jennifer Tilly. There are more big names to follow, with the action to be screened first on Five in the UK later in the year and then distributed internationally.

The third edition of the tournament saw Andrew Feldman and Robert Williamson III walk away as the biggest winners in a field that included Roland De Wolfe, Ian Frazer, Juha Helppi and Barny Boatman, while the first two editions of the tournament included WSOP main event champion Jamie Gold, Brian Townsend, Tony G, Phil Hellmuth Chris Ferguson, Kenna James and Dave 'Devilfish' Ulliott

well they have at different times said he was Victor Blom, but that remains to be seen, I think if it was him it would be confirmed by now

Last week Gutshot.com sent me to Sweden to track down Viktor Blom.  

I've posted the first three parts of my report in the articles section of their site.    I started out in Uddevalla. 

Day 4, Gothenberg, will be posted tomorrow, and the concluding Day 5 will go up on Saturday.  

I don't know if the mods will let me post the links here, but I think it's a good story, do check it out!
