Tom “durrrr” Dwan is on another hot streak – online poker world, watch out!
Since August 1 (just ten days ago, mind you) he has won over $1,700,000 at Full Tilt Poker; largely in the Omaha games that have netted him a cool $1.4m including more than a quarter-million dollars against Patrik Antonius in the durrrr challenge.Speaking of which, next challenger "jungleman12" has won $225,000 in August thus far and a total of $2.5m for the year. Dwan tops the 2010 leaderboard thus far with $4.7m won in 2010 – Phil Ivey is behind him on $2.5m but then there comes "jungleman12" with a little less than that.Also on the winner’s list in August so far are the King Phils of poker – Ivey and Galfond, who have earned $758k and $566k respectively so far this month.Thus far in August, the biggest online loser has been Gus Hansen who has lost over $850,000; largely in the PLO games and thus largely now sitting in durrrr’s account.Watch this action live and wait for durrrr vs. "jungleman12" at Full Tilt Poker.Keep up to date with all the news from the poker world by following us on Twitter and Facebook.
