Durrrr wins 6.2 million in cash games in 2008
January 1, 2009 by TG
Tom “Durrrr” Dwan has easily topped the list of biggest online poker money winners for 2008. Taking down the title with a staggering $6.2 Million in CASH winnings (mainly at Full Tilt), he easily crushed any challengers for the top spot with the guys trailing him (Phil Ivey among them) by well over 3 million dollars.
Durrrr went on a tear in the month of December, actually dipping to a low of around 2 million in total winnings during the first week. It appeared that Phil Ivey was going to make a run for the top spot but when that began hitting the newswires on the Internet, it apparently lit a flame under Dwan’s ass. By focusing on griding 24 tables at a time and using solid Turbo SNG Strategy, he was able to rack up the cash.
NOT.
This guy only plays the highest games available online, usually playing the $500/$1000 No Limit tables. The hands that go down at this level are sick, without a doubt. But Tom is as sick as they come and thrives at limits that would even make Donald Trump wet his pants. He never looked back and now has a bankroll larger than the combined bank accounts of the Big 3 Automakers in Detroit (not sure if that’s an insult or not).
There’s a rumor that Tom’s twin brother Tim is looking for a “heads up for rollz match” with Phil Hellmuth dealing the game. No word on whether a date or location has been set for this match.
