How much did Tom Dwan lose in Macau?

Tom Dwan is an American professional poker player. Dwan once lost a $20,000,000 pot, according to Dan “Jungleman12” Cates, another player with access to Macau games.

Although Cates would not discuss the specific hand, the size of the pot tells you everything you need to know about the stakes involved.

Macau games are almost entirely private. You can’t just sit down and start playing. Even if you have the money, you must be invited – and that invitation is not easy to come by.

Tom Dawn primarily played on Full Tilt Poker under the screen name “durrrr” in the highest-stakes No-Limit Texas Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha games.

Dwan has won prize money in live poker tournaments and has appeared on NBC’s National Heads-Up Poker Championship, Poker After Dark’s fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh seasons, Full Tilt Poker’s Million Dollar Cash Game’s third, fourth, and fifth seasons, and GSN’s High Stakes Poker’s fifth, sixth, eighth, and ninth seasons.
