    Breaking: Tom “durrrr” Dwan Dropped as Full Tilt Poker Professional

    Tom Dwan and Full Tilt Poker have parted ways.
    PokerListings.com has confirmed that high-stakes poker pro Tom “Durrrr” Dwan is no longer one of the sponsored Full Tilt Poker “Professionals”.
    Dwan's removal from the FTP Professionals web page sparked interest on poker forum 2+2 today and PokerListings.com contacted Full Tilt Poker for an official statement.
    “Full Tilt Poker and Tom Dwan have agreed to part ways following the recent expiration of Dwan’s contract,” said a Full Tilt Poker spokesperson.
    “To have one of the most respected names in poker on our team has been a great pleasure. We will continue to watch Tom at the tables and wish him every success in the future.”
    Dwan has been shying away from online poker on Full Tilt, opting instead to play live cash games in Macau. He's also been conspicuosly absent from the FTP promotions that Gus Hansen and Viktor Blom, the other two FTP Professionals, have been part of since the site's relaunch.
    Dwan was also missing at the much-hyped Full Tilt Poker Galway festival and turned up four hours late for a promotional heads-up battle between The Professionals and Team PokerStars Pro at EPT London.
    Dwan has also failed to continue with the durrrr Challenge against Dan "Jungleman12" Cates despite reportedly incurring financial penalties for not playing.

    Can't say this is a big surprise.....he never seemed to me to be the responsible type to do all the things required outside of the poker table. The funny thing is that he did an interview with Fox News business right after Black Friday and said he busted his account right before Black Friday so he didn't have any money tied up there any ways

    Remember when Tom used to post at NWP? OSA was a day late and a dollar short on that one.

    Tom Dwan ruined live poker. Before him donks used to play fast. After him, they put their left hand out on the table, and paused and paused and tried to look like a Vulcan non-heterosexual robot, then slowly, very very slowly decided to bet or fold for 1-3 minutes for any hand (3-7, 2-6...) they might have...

    Every person who had no sense of self became a Tom Dwan imitator and the games got VERY slow. This was 2008 or so?
