Tom Dwan reportedly wins $3.8M record pot in Macau
Tom "durrrr" Dwan is rumored to have picked up one of the biggest pots ever to be won in the million dollar cash games in Macau. According to local reports, Dwan scooped in a single hand worth $3.8 million.
The big cash games in Macau are up and running yet again, and has seen some remarkable action lately, according to reports coming from Pokerportal.asia.

The site has followed the Macau games closely since they broke out a year and a half ago, and has often provided updates about the winners and the losers of the action.

In its most recent update, the portal reports that the biggest of the Macau games has been running for the past week, although the big names have been largely absent.

Only Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Andrew Robl have joined in, but especially for Dwan it seems to have been time well spent at the tables after he reportedly won what is described as a record hand worth $3.8 million.

While details about the specific hand are unconfirmed, it appears that Dwan ended all-in with an unnamed Chinese businessman in a game of HKD $10,000/ HKD $20,000, or roughly USD $1,300/$2,600.

Dwan was holding ace-ten against his opponent's ace-deuce when the flop came ace-ten-deuce, giving both players two pair.

The money went in on the flop, and after blanks on both river and turn, Dwan could scoop in the record pot of $3.8 million US dollar.

The pot is the biggest yet to come out of the Macau rumor mill so far, although others have reportedly cashed in similar amounts from single hands in the multi-million dollar games.

These include Sam Trickett and Gus Hansen, who have both picked up pots worth more than $2 million in recent months.

Meanwhile, Robl also seems to be in good shape after his many hours spent at the Macau cash game tables, as he this week became the latest player to confirm his participation in the $1 million buy-in BIG ONE For ONE DROP WSOP Super High Roller this summer.

"Excited to play poker for big money and help charity by playing the $1,000,000 tournament for @ONEDROPdotorg at the WSOP this summer," Robl tweeted about the tournament, which was announced earlier this year as a special collaboration between the WSOP and Canadian billionaire Guy Laliberté from the ONE DROP Foundation.

So far, around 40 players have signed up for the event, leaving only a handful of empty seats left for a limited number of online and liver qualifiers.

Cash > MTTs (if you have the skill and BR). You would think A2 would be an easy fold with that much money involved... but I think some of these Chinese/HK players have so much $ they don't really care too much. Reminds me of a guy in highschool I knew who got CAD $25k/month allowance from his parents.

Those millionaires can recoup their losses in a day. That is nothing to them. Thats why the rich keeps getting richer and the poor keeps getting poorer.

I love to have seen that hand in action.

WOW, i just dont know how you can call or go all in for almost $2M U.S. iwht A2, not anywhere near the nuts by any means.. I guess dwan thought its either you got him beat or he has set of 2s. But to even get that much in the pot is crazy.

This is such a great hand to have watch both are having two pair infact ppl would bet high even having ace pair but having ace and your other card in hand and on table you would feel you should go allin there and then why wait for river it is not online game it is real card real strong hand almost unbelieve and rare that both player are having two pairs right at start too bad for chinese businessman he dint do bad bet but it is bad luck for him congrat to Durrrr

Durrrr is one of the most of my favourite players , he have lots of qualities to be as good as he now , and maybe later to be more better , he always have clear mind , sometimes when he really needed it he got,s lucky , but luck loves the strongest players , also i,m impressed with his charisma , that,s something amazing , this hand is really great , two strong pairs , he won lots of money , so seems now he must be really happy with that .

This is so much higher than any hand I have ever heard of - but the blinds are also higher than we ever saw on PAD or HSP. $1300/$2600 is so high its not funny. But still - getting in almost 800 BBs with top/bottom (or even with Dwan's top 2) - seems excessive - guessing there was some crazy dynamic, but still - I can't even see myself getting in more than 200 with either hand - and that would be with a crazy dynamic.
