Tom DwanTom “Durrrr” Dwan has won two out of his three heads up matches as part of the Full Tilt Million Dollar Challenge at Las Ambassadeurs in Mayfair, London.

After losing a few thousand dollars to Italian Marcello “Luckexpress” Marigliano in Wednesday’s match the beleaguered American bounced back playing pot-limit Omaha against Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies on Thursday to book a $68,000 profit over 500 hands and hit paydirt yesterday against Sammy “Any Two” George forcing the bullish UK player to rebuy twice for $250,000 and ending the session up $750,000.

This brought his total profit for the Challenge to around the $800,000 – a welcome fillip given his recent online calamities.
