Tom Dwan - the missing man - Page 56 - Poker News

can't decide if this is a really nice hoodie or a super out of place wtf degen hoodie but I haven't had to hide from people looking for money before so maybe it helps to blend into the vegas trees

I loved that hoodie. I want to get something like it.

+1 I thought I read an interview that said he only had about 30% of himself in that one and I know that one of the Wynn tourney regs (not naming names but you see him on TV) still backs Antonio on the regular. No way his BR is bigger than DNegs.

You're right and I was wrong. AE only had 3.5% in one Drop win. My bad.

I remember Dwan saying somewhere if he made 100 mil he would quit poker. Playing 5 mil pots would be an easy way to get to that point. Funny how when he disappears everyone says he busto. Maybe he just cashed out and lived the dream?

Joe Ingram said in one of his videos he would be doing a podcast featuring Tom Dwan after speaking with him on the set of Poker After Dark. We shall see if this is true or if Tom welches again.

Joe Ingram's love for Tom Dwan makes me a little uncomfortable.

Antonios face was super sour after that cooler. Looked like someone who had just lost a lot of his own money

To me it seemed like Dwan was trying to be nice to Antonio more than Dwan not wanting to run it once.

Really? People don't say they folded QQ when KK vs AA goes AIPF? Which games do you play?

It's definitely not resolved.

Can't find this tweet, did he delete it?

Dwan could deff run simulations in his head were shoving AK seems a decent option. Not sure if he'd actually do it often against these 2 players, though. DNs fold seems standard.

He probably is indifferent to him, Joe's just is no dummy and realizes it would be his most watched Podcast ever by far.

Wonder if a pod with Durr or Isildur would get more views for Joey.

Pretty easily durrrr. Dwan is more well known to the general population. Durrr is Goodfellas, Isildur is Mean Streets.

wtf...?

I merely commented that DN is likely to have a bigger bankroll than Antonio....In One Drops results alone I'd bet DN received a bigger payout for 2nd place than AE did for winning. Combined with his years of PS sponsorship and other media sponsors (inc the Netflix doc), it's not a difficult conclusion to reach imo.

Lol at the DN vs AE roll debate...

Antonio very openly said he had 15% of his one drop win, that's +$2,550,000...
Dnegs came second in the one drop next time, and very openly said he had 50% of himself that +$3,600,000

I'm sure all this pales to insignificance though compared what DN has earned from Stars over the years. He was a big part of a company that got sold for $4bn, personally I've never been a big part of a company that sold for $4bn but I have to assume that it's good for the old bank balance

This isn't even a debate. Durr would be a massive scoop for any news outlet to get him to sit down for an interview.

Well in theory yea. Just because people have tons of money doesn't mean they repay their debts necessarily
But I see your point.
