Pure speculation, He was playing in January a game with a Min Buy-in of HKD10M (More than $1M). This is confirmed and even if doesn't have all his action it's not what busto people usually do.

Really good post, mostly wasted in here but appreciated by some cheers

Uhm not to be a downer but he's busto in the sense that he has a couple mill only of which about 1M is his and the rest is borrowed. I'm not surprised he's still degening it up trying to earn back his former riches and pay off his debts and still be rich.

Exactly. Even his best friend said "you wouldn't know if tom had $50 or $50MM to his name at any given point."

He's obv playing monster games this thread can only chong too

You have no idea his financial situation just like no one knows Ivey's or any other gambler for that matter.

I hate to reference jungleman all the time about this but he hears from Tom every once in a while about the durrrr challenge so he's pretty trustworthy on the topic of Tom's net worth and he said pretty much exactly what I just told you.
The alternative is that he's randomly lying for the lolz. Do you think that it's more likely that well known and successful jungleman is lying to everyone because his testicle itches or that an established degen finally went broke?

when was last Dwan on U.S soil sighting after the Phua situation???

do wonder if he cant come back to the U.S at all

his passport must be hilarious and mostly all Asia and S.E Asia lol. What is the possibility that he might get locked up, if steps foot on U.S soil for whatever reasons. im surprised this possibility is never trolled up. He left a lengthy paper trail, playing very large a mounts of money all over, youd hope he filed everything correctly etc, or even the Phua deal didn't mess him up or something.

im more looking for anything that indicates hes actually stepped foot on U.S soil, and as more time goes by im gonna start believing thats the actual problem, for whatever reasons.


is prison actually what he is scared of

I like Kidman411's post and could agree with the logic.

As it always seems to be with non-stop gambling, one never knows when to stop. It would be nice to know when you've reached your peak, or high water mark, in terms of your bankroll or life savings or net worth, but when you are an addicted gambler and start heading downhill, you always think of your biggest wins and how it could happen again, or how you could get back to where you were when you were "on top".

Sadly, that's not in the percentages, over a gambler's lifetime, IMHO.

Southeast Asia is a part of Asia. You could just say Asia.

If he was loaded he wouldn't scam jungleman and ruin his reputation over $1.5 million.

I hate to bring it up but I'm sure he was here last month for his fathers funeral, I would think so anyway

So he did not play the Main?

Is Min Buy-in a triad boss?

If Tom still has a million dollars to his name he should leave Macau and move to Idaho where the Chinese mafia can't find him.

Hellmuth was right confirmed.

Don't chess grandmasters peak age 31? How different can poker peak be?

I doubt that. There are even Chinese restaurants in Iceland. I doubt he can be safe from the Chinese mafia anywhere in the world if he's wanted by them

You fellas really put the G in NVG

Do the Chinese mafia not have Google Maps?

My guess is he would have payed Jungleman if he had the money. Tom seems like a nice dude.

Spotted him Sunday afternoon, outside of Tom's Place at NYNY on the patio.

how do u know it was him? was he wearing the flamingo hat? was he shackled to Min Buy-in?

Min Buy-in is the untracked head of the 5k triad in europe
He controls Isildur's deposits.

Min Buy-In has me rolling
