Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan Profile

Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan is known as one of the best online poker players in the world. Born on July 30, 1985 in Edison, New Jersey, Dwan started his poker career at a very young age.

Dwan grew up in New Jersey and attended Boston University briefly, with the intent on earning a degree in English. He left the University to pursue a career as a professional poker player.

Dwan started his poker career at age 17 with a $50 bankroll. After grinding away at Sit-n-go games, his bankroll grew immensely. He started playing in cash games and quickly moved through the limits to the highest table limits available.

Playing on Full Tilt Poker under the nickname ‘Durrrr’, you will often see him at the Pot Limit Omaha games playing heads up against some other well known poker pros like Mike Matusow and Patrik Antonius.

Dwan is currently in the midst of a Million Dollar challenge with several pro players.

Since the beginning of 2007, Dwan has been one of the biggest winners on Full Tilt Poker. He has banked an estimated $3 million dollars during that time, making him the 5th biggest winner on the site during that time period (behind Phil Ivey, David Benyamine, Di "Urindanger" Dang and Niki "Kaibuxxe" Jedlicka.) Dwan is also known to spend time at some of the biggest "live" cash game tables in Las Vegas, usually playing a PLO / NLHE mix game when he sits down.

Dwan spends most of his time playing cash games, but has still enjoyed a tremendous amount of success in live tournaments so far in his career. Having just barely turned 22 years old, "durrrr" has already racked up almost a million dollars in live tournament cashes.
