Tom Dwan’s Stack Reaches Over $1 million Dollars on Full Tilt Poker
Poker player Tom “durrrr” Dwan for the third time during his short poker career has stacked up more than $1million dollars at Full Tilt Poker during a game Saturday. The other poker players that had the luck to accumulate a stack of the size Dwan did during the early morning game Saturday were Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies and Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond.
These are the only poker players that earned the stacks of this size and this does not include the limit games like poker player TexasLimitKing did several years ago. Dwan was able to do this for the third time at Full Tilt Poker while playing one of the high-stakes games of $500/$1000 No Limit Hold’em while at “RailHeaven”.
Dwan’s hand that raised his stake over the $1million dollar amount occurred while playing against Galfond, before the hand Galfond had a stack of approximately $120 thousand and Dwan’s stack was $924 thousand. Dwan was in the small blind, mastrblastr was in the big blind, when Patrik Antonius raised $3,500 and Galfond called. From the small blind Dwan raised up to $18,200, Antonius called and after summing up the situation Galfond pushed all-in. After Galfond pushed all-in causing Antonius to fold.
The hand Dwan showed was pocket Kings and Galfond was holding Queen-Ace off suit, the flop was 6-3-8 with two diamonds. On the turn the two of diamonds showed giving OMGClayAiken the upper hand since he held he Ace of Diamonds.
Dwan took the pot the for that hand, which had totaled $260 thousand when the river brought a Queen of spades and that put his stack over $1 million dollars.
Tom “durrrr” Dwan’s poker playing gave him the advantage of taking money from poker player Gus Hansen and Dwan has approximately $2 million dollars spread between 4 or 5 tables at Full Tilt Poker.
