Before the Aussie Millions Poker Championship, rumors swirled that Tom “durrrr” Dwan was spotted in Australia and would be attending the event. Those rumors were confirmed when he arrived at the Crown Casino and entered the $100,000 Challenge. As we witnessed at the World Series of Poker over the summer and at the WSOP Europe in October, his participation in any tournament always draws quite a buzz.

Class act for sure and he correctly zeros in on the reality that FTP did not have the money on hand, which considering the earning power of the site, is mismanagement of Epic proportions. Luckily, the one strength of Group Tapie in France is management so the right kind of organization is taking over. The litmus test will be if Dwan elects to continue with FTP as a pro when they start up.

As for playing online, Tom Dwan could easily find a nest in Vancouver, a stone's throw from Las Vegas with easy access to Macau (where rumour has it he is bricking gold playing live there ...) and a direct flight to Amsterdam on KLM ... a great hub and a young vibrant city.

Of all the pros involved with FT, Dwan came out looking the best. And the smartest.

@ NoahCross Fact is he is the smartest of all the mopes at FT and it's quite possible that his ability to be well spoken has everyone fooled?
