Tom Dwan, who spoke with PokerNews on Friday and then again on Sunday, is back on X after being locked out of his account, and he's firing back at those who have accused him of failing to make whole unpaid debts.
The poker legend who once ruled the Full Tilt Poker streets under the screen name "durrrr," had some choice words for Haralabos Voulgaris and Peter Jetten. But one player owes money to, Dan "Jungleman" Cates, stood up for him in a surprisingly cordial tweet.
Amidst all the bickering on social media, Dwan also made the news Friday when he signed as an a new ambassador of an unregulated poker site, a site that many poker players have reported has a never-ending bot problem.
Check out the 45-minutes interview Dwan gave to PokerNews' Chad Holloway on Sunday night:
Neel Murthy was all in for around 500,000 and David Dowdy looked him up from the big blind without much thought.
Neel Murthy: K♥K♣
David Dowdy: 6♥4♥
"I like your chances here," Zamani said to Dowdy.
The flop came 5♣2♥5♥ and Murthy sighed. The turn 9♥ confirmed his suspicion and Dowdy had a flush.
The river, however, was a K♦, and Murthy sat down to collect the proceeds of his full house.

[Removed:456]: A♥K♥
The board ran out Q♦6♣8♣J♦4♣ and the flopped pair of queens was good enough for Murthy's double.
