This young gun of poker is barely into his twenties, but he’s cashed on the EPT, WPT and at the World Series of Poker. He’s earned more than a million in live action tournaments and hits the online ring games with regularity. Dwan, who made good on a prop bet earlier this year at the World Poker Tour championship, in which he wore a silly hat each day he played in the Main Event. He finished ninth, y’all – so he got a lot of usage out of some crazy chapeaus.
The dude is not afraid to do anything for poker. Recently, he found himself in a major hand with former Royal Danish Army soldier Peter Jepsen. Jespen, winner of the 2007 EPT Poland Event, is a fearsome player. However, as we mentioned before, Dwan doesn’t back down easily.
In this hand, he emerges victoriously, taking down one of the biggest online pots … like, ever. Read on:
