Online Poker in Sweden Thrives as Eisenhower1 and Isildur1 Dominate in 2015

Online poker in Sweden is alive and kicking as Christian ‘eisenhower1′ Jeppsson and Viktor ‘Isildur1′ Blom dominates the 2015 online action in both cash games and multi-table tournaments.

The ride for online poker players in Sweden, over the past few years, has been tumultuous to say the least.

The environment has been plagued with tax issues. Players have had their homes invaded and goods effectively stolen. But throughout all of that, Swedish online poker remains as tough as dentine.

Online poker forum and ranking site PocketFives has announced Sweden’s Christian ‘eisenhower1′ Jeppsson as the winner of their annual PocketFives Leaderboard (PLB). Jeppsson came from behind in the final two weeks to overtake the Russian Artem ‘veeea’ Vezhenkov to become the eventual champion. Previous incumbents include Calvin Anderson, Griffin Benger and Chris Moorman.
