Tom Dwan aka Durrrr was multi-tabling poker games vs Phil Ivey and Ziigmund. While Phil Ivey was sitting out, Tom dwan was heads up in Pot Limit Omaha against Ilari Sahamies aka Ziigmund. Ziigmund has been really doing horrible lately since everyone has him figured out. He has one of the worse records in online high stakes poker. Lately hes been trying to make a comeback and I’m afraid this hand just made him sick because he high tailed it out of there. Although this hand was smaller, it brings back memories of the biggest bad beat in online poker history by the sickest poker player “Tom Dwan”.

Ziigmund preceded to lost his stack to a bad river spade, then fail to control his tilt and lost the rest of his money. He may very well be broke at this point…

At the 6 handed high stakes poker table is Allen Cunningham and Eric Liu. Allen raises to $600.00 and Eric Liu reraises him to 2k. Allen Cunningham then four bets him to $5,800! Eric Liu re-raises to $12,600 and in what I think is a questionable raise, Allen raises to 29k. I think this is defiantly a tourny play. The only thing that calls him here is AA KK or AK, so why not just call the 12k and see what the flop is? Eric Liu then leaves the table in disgust as I would.

Some of you may have watched the most prestigious poker event this past Tuesday. The event is a 50k entry fee H.O.R.S.E. tournament where to win it, you must defeat the best players in the world at Holdem, Omaha hi low, Razz, Stud, and Stud eight or better, at slow blind intervals over 5 days. Scotty was swearing at one of the players and swearing at the waiter who was taking too much time bringing his Michelob which they had to cover with electrical tape to not piss off the sponsors.

Scotty Nguyen made a public apology for his actions that was posted on Cardplayer and Two Plus Two.

I’m not posting the lengthy apology, but I’ll show you a snippet:
I would like to ask for understanding of what really took place. Keep in mind this was a five day event, with an almost fourteen hour final table that was reduced to two hours of air time including all the commercial breaks.

People have to understand that poker is a business and that Scotty is only human and is playing for 2 million dollars. Scotty does deserve respect for winning this considering he is who I regard as the most under estimated and under rated players in poker. Let us also remember that Scotty Nguyen donated 50k the widow and unborn baby of a WPT cameraman Paul Hannum.
