WSOP 2010 The Final Countdown -- DurrrrFestRebecca McAdam Recalls The Biggest Sweat Of This Summer's World Series Of Poker |
|
As the November Nine prepare to take to the felt, bringing to an end the WSOP 2010, Rebecca McAdam relives her favourite memories from this year’s Series.
The whole obsession with Tom “Durrrr” Dwan during the Series largely boiled down to the reportedly millions he had on the line in bracelet bets. Every time I saw him, people were asking him for autographs and pictures, and when he played, they fought over the rail nearest to him. The Card Player TV team decided to play on this and do something different, so we created Durrrr Watch 2010.
The intro for the show was hilarious as it featured a dinosaur breathing fire, and a warrior Durrrr with lazer beams shooting from his eyes. But it wasn’t all design and no substance, we got some good interviews with Dwan about the bets ⎯ he’s a pretty funny guy.
Between Durrrr Watch 2010, the bracelet bets, and Dwan’s near-miss at taking a whopper chunk out of the high stakes community, Durrrr definitely made his mark on this year’s World Series.
