Tom “durrr” Dwan is not a donk…no matter what the high stakes regulars may think. Anyone who takes this young gun of poker less than seriously must be ready to be prepared to pay with his poker lifeblood, and be prepared to pay dearly. Ilari “ziigmund” Sahamies found that truism out the hard way early on Thursday evening or perhaps in the wee hours of a Finnish Friday morning.
