Online Poker -- Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan Joins Team Full TiltDwan Becomes First Full Tilt Pro Since Patrik Antonius |
|
Lost in the shuffle of the WSOP weekend was the announcement of Tom “durrrr” Dwan and his recent addition to Team Full Tilt. Dwan is renowned in the poker world as being one of the best high-stakes cash game players around and for his fearlessness at the tables, willing to take on anyone for any amount.
The addition comes as no surprise to those in the poker industry thanks to last month’s leak on the Full Tilt website. It seems that a few observant poker players caught a glimpse of Dwan’s mug as one of the hosts to the current Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) XIV schedule. The avatar was hastily taken down, but the online railbirds were quick to speculate that the announcement was just a matter of time.
Dwan has yet to be re-added to the list of hosts for the ongoing series, but there are still three unoccupied spots up for grabs, including the main event, which takes place Sunday, Nov. 15.
The last player to be added to the team was Patrik Antonius in June of 2008. Dwan is currently in the middle of an epic 50,000-hand heads-up battle with Antonius titled the “Durrrr Challenge,” and is up approximately $780,000 through the halfway point of play.
“Team Full Tilt doesn’t take adding a team member lightly,” said Team Full Tilt pro, Howard Lederer. “But Tom Dwan has proven, through skill and dynamic play, that he will be a force to be reckoned with for many years to come. We are proud to count Tom as one of our own.”
