Patrik Antonius really seems to have turned things around at Full Tilt Poker; coming back from a $4m deficit can’t be easy but Tom “durrrr” Dwan recently managed it and it seems online poker’s biggest winner is matching his strides with Dwan.

Last week I was flying from Malta to London to sponsor the I-gaming Social put on by Lyceum Media, which happens to fall onto Michael Caselli’s Birthday every year.

A lot went on at the high stakes tables on Full Tilt over the weekend – we’ve told you about Tom Dwan taking on jungleman12 but the day after that everyone wanted a piece of the action – Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, Gus Hansen, Ashton Griffin and Brian Townsend all managed to win or lose six figures on Sunday.

Tom “durrrr” Dwan has been on a serious rush at Full Tilt Poker, winning a total of $1.9m in the past 24 hours. He took on European newcomer Odonkor1 at $100/$200 NL – this time the Swede lost out, unlike last time Dwan sat down with a mystery man from that country.
