Tom “durrrr” Dwan Down $3.5 million in 2009
The online poker king Tom “durrrr” Dwan lost another $586k at the Full Tilt Poker this Wednesday, thus shooting his total losses in the month of January to a whooping $3.53 million.
According to the stats provided by HighStakesDB.com, the total loss has arrived after 25,218 tracked hands. This means that in the month of January, Tom has lost $140 on each hand he played. This will result into an all time low for any online cash game player; so everybody is waiting with a bated breath to see how Tom fares in the last three days to save himself from registering his name in the pages of history as a “player who lost the most at poker during a single month”. Tom is undoubtedly one of the best poker players in the world, but this year’s start has proved to be very disappointing for him.
The reversal of luck can be seen from the fact that he pocketed a cool $5.41 million in 223,259 tracked hands during the 2008 Full Tilt Poker. Now, he has thrown away almost 65% of that amount within the first 28 days of this year.
Tom’s big loss of has resulted into huge gains for both Gus Hansen and Patrik Antonius. Antonius is reported to have pocketed $2.7 million dollar this month and Hansen has managed to take home $2.2 million. They have both sucked away huge sums from Tom.
One thing is for sure that Tom has a huge wealth stacked in his bank, but it is to be seen whether he can sustain for a long period of time with his wealth being depleted at such a rapid rate. Even if he has a wealth of $10 million, he has already lost about 35% of it in the very first month of this year. This figure can be mind boggling for anybody.
In the face of such a huge loss “durrrr” has remained unperturbed and is confident of bouncing back by mid February. The name of his first opponent is still to be known.
