Tom Dwan Calls it Quits after Losing $2.3 Million Pot in High Stakes Cash Game
Poker fans who follow Tom Dwan in his high-stakes poker sessions love it when Tom Dwan gets to win an incredibly huge pot, but it can pretty interesting to see what his reactions could potentially be when things don’t go too well for the reclusive poker pro. Take for example the time when he lost a $2,353,500 pot that made him quit playing immediately.
The poker action was at the Triton Poker Super High Roller cash game located in Jeju, South Korea. Big names at the high-stakes table included the likes of 888poker ambassador Dominik Nitsche, partypoker ambassador Jason Koon, Elton Tsang, Mikita Badziakouski, Patrik Antonius, Paul Phua and Sam Greenwood.
Apparently Lady Luck was by Phua’s side at that time, as he was smiling and laughing merrily when Dwan shoved all-in with A-Q and it got blown away by Phua’s pocket aces. The Malaysian high roller was laughing even when Dwan took a considerable amount of time to make his next move and finally, he shoved all-in that cost him around $1.15 million.
If Dwan was trying to decipher some type of tell from the Malaysian tycoon, Phua’s jolly demeanor was certainly no help at all, according to commentator Lex Vedhuis, “The fact that Paul's laughing doesn't tell you anything. He's always laughing.”
When all the cards were revealed and Phua won, Dwan quietly smiled, gave his chips to Phua, and then left the scene without a fuss.
