PTR doesn't tell the whole story.  he started out playing on euro sites.  also he participated in the biggest pot in online history, so when you lose almost $700,000 in one hand of poker being stuck 2 million isn't much. :)

he pretty much created all the buzz and excitement at the nosebleeds the last year and a half.  He was the biggest unsigned name out there.

This was posted when he was making his WSOPE run:

Viktor Blom is just a sick, sick individual. There is no other way to   say it. At this juncture it doesn’t even matter if he is Isildur1 or not   – he obviously is but he’s still keeping schtum about it – because   having watched him tear through the field at the £10,350 WSOPE  Main  Event I am fully prepared to believe that I am watching one of  the best  No Limit Hold ‘em players in the world. And he’s 19 years old!
Isildur1 is famed for his overbets, which he will make for value, as a   bluff or for razor-thin value with middle pair. I’ve seen five overbets   from Blom over the past two days he has been playing and they resulted   in three folds and two calls. Two of the three times he got folds; he   showed a pure bluff (eight high and one pair on a A-K-9-T board); both   times he was called he had the best hand. How you can hand-read so well   is beyond me.
 
 
Even if he isn’t Isildur1, which he is, then the story of Blom90 – who   he definitely is – is amazing as well. He was playing $530 STTs on   PartyPoker in 2005 at the age of 15; he ran up a $2,000 deposit to   $1,500,000 in five weeks playing heads-up cash before taking out half a   million and losing the rest before doing it again. He has a huge stack   at the moment and I hope he makes the final table because THAT will be   fine TV.
