Crypto, cash games and controversy - Tom Dwan opens up on 888poker Ride

Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan is the latest poker pro passenger to join David Tuchman for a ride-along in the 888poker Ride interview series.

One of the most famous figures in the game, Dwan has been involved in the biggest pots ever televised - including a $1.1 million pot vs. Phil Ivey and a huge $3.1M hand vs. Wesley Fei (that Dwan breaks down exclusively for PokerOrg here) - as well as some of the game’s more controversial moments, and he’s not afraid to discuss them in this new interview.

Having signed on as an ambassador for ACR Poker earlier this year, Dwan joined Tuchman in the midst of the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas where he came ready to play. Known more for his adventures in high stakes cash games, Dwan confesses that WSOP bracelets matter more to him now than he previously cared to admit.
