Deal Me in Mini eBook - Chapter 18: Tom Dwan

Tom 'Durrrr' Dwan is part of the online revolution that has propelled many players into the national spotlight in the world of high-stakes poker. At just 22 years old, Tom's impressive cash winnings, both live and online, have earned him a reputation as one of the brightest stars in the game, a title Tom reluctantly accepts, despite his disinterest in celebrity status. His cash winnings are even more impressive when you consider that Tom was denied a seat at the WSOP in 2006 and 2007 because he had not yet turned 21. When he finally hit the legal age limit, he immediately cashed in, making the final table at the 2007 WPT World Poker Finals at Foxwoods and earning the tidy sum of $325,000 for his efforts. Equally comfortable playing six hands at a time behind the computer or sitting at the final table of a major event in front of television cameras and large crowds, Tom plays at the highest level with a calm demeanor and an even disposition.
