The Rise and Rise of Tom "durrrr" Dwan

The word legend is banded around the poker world far too often, a world the poker community often uses to describe a player with solid results over an extended period of time. While the phrase is used far too often, nobody would deny that Tom "durrrr" Dwan is a poker legend, especially in the online poker world where he once ruled supreme.

Dwan first discovered online poker when he was only 17-years old. He received $50 as a birthday present and deposited on Paradise Poker, one of the very first online poker sites.
