Biography

Tom Dwan, best known by his online alias durrrr is an American poker pro who emerged into the high-stakes online poker scene in 2007. He first started playing poker online in 2004 at the age of 17 and in three years he climbed up the stakes ladder to the biggest digits available online. Intro At that time Full Tilt Poker was the place for all the high-stakes poker action and Dwan became a regular at the heads-up nosebleeds. He was playing against some of the biggest names in online poker including Frederick Halling, Prahlad Friedman, Phil Ivey, Ilari Sahamies, Patrik Antonius, Brian Townsend, Viktor Blom and others. Playing big stakes at the online tables Dwan had enjoyed big upswings as well as suffered huge downfalls. He would win and then loose millions of dollars in just a few days or even a couple of hours playing heads-up on Full Tilt. Dwan also took part in a number of record-breaking hands played online scooping and losing some of the largest pots in the online poker history. Background Tom Dwan was born in Edison, New Jersey in 1986. He started playing poker online on Paradise Poker at the age of 17. He made his first deposit with $50 which Dwan received from his father for his 17th birthday. He was soon able to turn profit from his investment and went on to play at higher stakes. In 2005 Dwan cashed in his first major live tournament, the 3,000 European Poker Tour Main Event in London where he finished in 12th place for 7,000. World Series of Poker Although Dwan is best known for his performance in the online games, he also has a decent record playing live tournaments and cash games. His lifetime tournament winnings exceed $2 million with some deep runs and a couple of final tables in the most prestigious live poker circuit, the World Series of Poker. However, scoring big cashes and making final tables is not the same as winning titles as Dwan has yet to score poker’s most desired trophy, the WSOP bracelet. Dwan came close to his first bracelet in 2010 when he finished second at the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em after losing the heads-up battle to New Zealand’s Simon Watt. Dwan collected almost $400,000 for his runner-up finish. A year later he made another WSOP final table, but only managed to make it to the 5th place at the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. event for $134,480.
