Tom "durrrr’ Dwan made a triumphant return to Poker After Dark a few weeks ago – the event was streamed live from the Aria Casino in Las Vegas, NV. It seems though durrrr took a liking to the venue, since this week he was playing high stakes cash games in the casino again – with none other than the "King of Instagram" Dan Bilzerian. The unique event is attested by Jean-Robert Bellande’s Twitter feed, who posted a photo of the card game.
Dwan, who was the king of online poker during the Full Tilt-years disappeared from the European and American poker scene for years, both live and online. He made his living at the high stakes cash game tables in Macau – he didn’t even have any live tournament cashes for three years, that streak ended in March earlier this year when he finished second in a Macau Super High Roller.
He did manage to stay a topic of conversation among online poker players, mainly for him ditching the heads-up challenge against "Jungleman" Cates. Cates did state in an interview he did with Doug Polk leading up to their King of the Hill heads-up tournament that Dwan has paid him somewhere between $700K and $800K for "delay penalties" for not playing the challenge.
With all that behind him, Dwan returned to the Vegas poker scene, played publicly broadcast poker on Poker After Dark, and now, he’s still in Sin City getting some high stakes cash game action. He was playing against a quite a high-profile opponent: the most infamous playboy on the internet, Dan Bilzerian.
This was documented by high stakes poker pro Jean-Robert Bellande – he also appeared on the new installment of Poker After Dark with Dwan – who shared a picture of the two sitting at the same card table on Twitter. No specifics of the game, like stakes or results were made public, but that picture alone generated quite a lot of interest on the internet.
