Latest news from Macau suggest that Tom 'durrrr' Dwan is challenged to a game of HU with one of the Chinese rich people later today. Supposedly to be pulled between 20 and 30 million HK $ on the felt - that is up to 3.5million USD!
Matt Savage who started the updates from Macau has flown home to the states and instead it's Tom Hall who has continued updates from Macau. Tom Hall is even a regular guest on the tables at the local casino. And it was allegedly him who stands behind the invitations to Phil Ivey, 'durrrr' and Juanda.
Tom Hall gives a little insight into who the Chinese players are. The Chinese are involved in the gaming industry, allegedly bookmaking and a few of them have a good grip on the NLHE poker while a few of the others would be pure donkeys. One of the Chinese is nicknamed 'all in' and he cherishes the name to a degree, that it should provide plenty of entertainment and unorthodox play.
The sessions usually lasts between 20-30 hours, with a few hours sleep in between. The sessions are run mostly over 5-6 days.
Ivey should now be up by just over $ 2 million, while Tom 'durrrr' Dwan already should have secured 2.5 million U.S. dollars.
