Tom “durrrr” Dwan…
So by now I am sure everyone is aware of the Durrrr challenge as well as the fact that the young pro is down quite a large sum of money on the year. Yesterday was a pretty big action day for him as he had decreased his gap to break even. At the beginning of the day he was down an astounding $2million for 09′ but after the long day of work he had proffited $600k which is bringing him closer to breaking even. The main hands were between Dwan going against 2 Full Tilt Pros: Gus Hansen and Phil Ivey. He took quite a big pot away from Hansen when he hit a higher 2 pair on the turn but for some reason he cannot beat Ivey. Throughout the course of the day he had lost a few pots totaling over 100k each to Ivey and continued the recent trend of loosing to him…I have to say that Dwan is gaining more and more respect from me every day for even thoe he is loosing to some for the most part he started taking out huge chunks out of his $2million spread for 09′ and if this keeps going on the not only will he break even but will also be up a huge amount of money after 2009 is all done with.
Good luck to all of the pros and thanks for providing us with such entertaining high price hands to watch.

I agree with you Jared, Tom Dwan has taken the chance and put himself out there – you have to admire him for taking the risk.
