Last year it was Phil Ivey, who during the WSOP was conspicuous by his absence. And this year it is Tom 'Durrrr' Dwan, who previously preferred games in Macau rather than grinding the tournaments full time in the desert state.

macau businessmen decided to pay expenses of a private jet back to usa for dwan- they calculated that this was a cheaper option than letting him stay back in macau and empty their pockets even more. tough life when you are winning- you are losing so many opponents when luck is on your side

Does anyone knows about his balance on this tour in Macau? Things must have run well in the beginning, that made him stay for maybe longer than he first thought. And the action there must be fabulous for players like durrrr, or else he wouldn’t be there for so long. Playing against new and unknown players must have given him a great background in terms of its own strategy in the tables. He is now a refreshed player, summing a lot of new experiences that improved his games skills. Thinking about it, this could have worked as an intensive train to the One Drop. Do we have a favorite here?

I like him as hes as good as Phil in the LAG type poker styles? I'm sure he's more on to it than it seams (good actor on tables? slow play's etc) haven't seen him play for long time though

I would like to see Durr in a new High Stakes Poker season, that yes would be awesome, with a line of great players like the program had some years ago, or with the new guns! A program with: Durr, Phil Ivey, Bloom, Sahamies, hellmuth, PA, Negreneau, and dario minelli would be awesome!

i'd love to see him making one of the above guys bankrupt...like 3 mega pots in 1 week from 1 player...lol
Durr,Tom Dwan ...deffinetely a legend already.. but only player i can put in the same class is phil ivey...negreanu i like because of his charisma...i think he has that, always confident and positive at te tables..joking around while winning...
...maybe its a lot that everyone dont want to play with him anymore....
