Twan Le and Gus Hansen both make a full house. Twan KNOWS Howard Lederer is hugely strong here and Gus Hansen is sickened by the somewhat weak comments on Twan.
Daniel Negreanu and Erick Lindgren are having fun. ^^
Gus Hansen is the star – Howard beats Twan Le

“You played that hand like a vegan”
November 3rd, 2009Gotta love Phil Ivey. Ivey raises. Daniel Negreanu re-raises light and makes a somewhat silly racial slur. Phil Ivey pushes. Daniel Folds. Ivey returns the favor. Beautiful!
Phil Ivey and Allen Cunningham. Eli Elezra screws up the game.
October 11th, 2009Eli Elezra screws up the hand for Allen Cunningham in my opinion. Phil Ivey takes advantage, and Allen loses 5k.
Johnny Chan is one of the best
September 21st, 2009This is absolute proof Johnny Chan is one of the best. Instamuck the pocket aces. GENIUS.
JC Tran is a stupid nit, Tom Dwan = Genius.

The Famous Dwan vs. Eastgate hand
July 20th, 2009This hand is legendary because of Tom “durrrr” Dwan’s look at the end of the hand. He did miss a valueraise here, didn’t he?
Tom Dwan vs. Antonio Esfandiari: Sickness.
June 28th, 2009Pure cooler for Antonio Esfandiari here – was supposed to be pure cooler the other way around. Tom Dwan plays the hand absolutely standard – and I’m sure Antonio understands this in retrospect.
Poker After Dark – Helmuth Bash Cash Game
May 28th, 2009Watching the latest “Poker After Dark” episodes of the Helmuth Bash Cash Game, makes you wonder who is the better cash game player. Phil Helmuth and Tom “Durrr” Dwan face each other a few times, Bob Safai has a go and then Phil Laak seems to be all over the place.
Whenever Dwan is at the table, he seems to rattle the players a bit and they don’t play normal poker – that’s because Dwan has an ultra aggressive style that is often not out of a poker strategy book. Laak plays a few crazy hands and does things that he wouldn’t normally do, he gets real lucky to take a hand from Dwan with bottom pair. Even he admits that he is a Donkey in this game!
One thing about “Durrrr” is that despite his aggressive style, he still reads the situation very well. The way he gets out of a hand against Helmuth, who flops a flush, makes you realize he is very aware. Perhaps Helmuth’s bet on the turn was too high and he could have waited until the river to bet, but still the way Dwan just got out immediately was impressive! Read any good casino winning strategies and they will always tell you to be aware of your situation, to hold or fold where necessary.
Tom “Durrr” Dwan vs Phil Hellmuth – Poker After Dark
February 22nd, 2009My main man Phil Hellmuth and online poker genius Tom “Durrr” Dwan play a huge hand in which I believe Durrr was calling when a blank hit the river (yet we’ll never know). The diamond was too dangerous, and Phil kind of got lucky there.
Props to both players though, great hand!
