Tom Dwan's First Live Tourney Cash Since 2014

Tom Dwan, best known as "durrrr" at Full Tilt's high-stakes tables before Black Friday, made a rare appearance in a live poker tournament last weekend when he entered the HK$500,000 (approx. US $64,000) Super High Roller of the 2017 Macau Billionaire Poker (MBP) Spring Challenge.

The tournament saw a field of 12 players, including Dwan, German high-stakes expert Philipp Gruissem and Belarusian poker pro Mikita Badziakouski. Dwan and Badziakouski eventually played heads-up for the title. In the final hand, Dwan found himself all in with K3 against the AK of Badziakouski and the board ran out Q10A42 to give Badziakouski the title and the first-place prize of approximately US$420,000. Dwan received US$275,000 for his second place finish.

According to pokernews.com, this was Dwan's first live cash since February 2014 when he finished 6th in the A$250,000 Challenge at the Aussie Millions. There have been a lot of talk about Dwan as of late. Some claim that he owes people millions of dollars and is hiding under a rock to avoid paying off his debts while others, including Phil Hellmuth in a recent interview, believe that he's doing extremly well for himself in Macua, playing cash games where several million dollars change owners in a single session.
