Durrr
Durrr, Durrrr, or Tom Dwan as he is known in real life is a phenomenal poker player that has been *crushing* the highest stakes poker cash games both online and live. You can often see him playing the Railheaven No-Limit table on Full Tilt Poker with blinds of 5000/1K. Durrr will buy in from anywhere in between 100K and 200K and often run up a stack up to close to 1 million US dollars. He is a champion at the biggest online poker rooms.
Durrr ‘s strengths are an incredibly aggressive game play, perfect timing and a “six sense”, or gut feeling that only the elite players share. He makes some of the sickest reads you will ever see at a poker table.
Ever wonder what Durrr looks like ? Check out his interview below:
This article is from pokerfornia.com, we review the best California Poker Rooms.
This video is actually from the NBC heads-up championship where Durrr and Phil Hellmuth were seated together. Tom Dwan sucked out on Phil Hellmuth when his pair of 10s found a set all in versus his pair of Aces. Certainly a sick way to go for Phil. Living up to his reputation, Phil decided to trash talk following this elimination. He called Durrr’s call of an all in with a pair of 10s a donkish move. Apparently Durrr thinks he is a much better heads up player than Phil and challenged him to a series of heads up match with 100k buy-ins or more. As of this writing these heads-up games have not taken place yet, but we are sure eager to see them happen someday!

In the paragraph after the NBC video you stated:
“He called Durrr’s call of an all in with a pair of 10s a donkish move.”
Durrr was the one that actually went all-in with the 10s, not Phil with his aces… Phil called obviously. So yeh, all-in at those blinds with TT, bit donkish, especially after a reraise from Phil.
EIther way, Durrr is a maniac with no fear that makes a fk load of money, heh.
