Tom Dwan - the missing man - Page 16 - Poker News

I was playing 10/25 in april of 2012 at hollywood hard rock during a series they had there for a 10k and these two asian regs were playing to my left waiting on the 50/100 game.

they were talking among themselves and the context seemed to be that they were old friends who hadn't seen each other in a while. the one who spoke like he knew Tom personally said two things:

Tom was playing on a new account that used to belong to a fish and was playing 50/100+ online but the game has sort of past him by and the games were actually forming around him in tough line ups.

the second thing he said is he heard first hand tom had gotten backed to play the big games in macau which this was at a time right after black friday were the macau games were still possible to get into and according to this guy tom deliberately lost millions in these games until whoever was backing him was forced to drop him, then when they did he came back in with his own money and a permanent invite into these games owing to the whales seeing him as a big loser.

from there I'm not sure how this ends up with him being in debt and all that and this is of course 3rd hand info, but it's what I heard.

sorry if this is old news.

Poor Dang bro.s

It's an ad for Jerry Springer's show "Baggage" on GSN ...A dumb dating show where 3 donkeys reveal their "baggage"(some quirk or weird sh*t) to another donkey , and they choose someone based on those things. It's Usually 3 hotttt girls, and you want them by looks alone instantly...but then they tell you one eats toilet paper for breakfast, one doesn't shower and one has 3 vaginas or some ****..

What's with the way Tom Dwan has his head constantly bouncing forward every three or four seconds? Is that like a nervous tick?

Why is he nowhere online anymore...I am sure the HS regs know what is up with TD. You have all the regs from TD's era playing and he is NOWHERE...hmmm

It is a bit strange that amidst all the chatter / jokes / photoshops / comments that no one credible (afaict) has chimed in with some actual insight as to his whereabouts. I mean all jokes aside, he actually is 100% missing in action unless I missed something.

I doubt the reason is that he owes someone $ - Most likely closer to the other way around and laying very very low till he can get whatever monies/equity he is due. But I'm ashamed to even be in here gaf so what do I know.

Unfortunately, they imitate the way he tanks on HSP, too. DN told me that on a youtubes video via the information super highway.
