Tom Dwan drops $140K in NLH games

Some heavy action on Full Tilt poker started when David Benyamine, Brian Hastings, Tom Dwan and AeJones sat down at the $200/$400 No limit holdem tables. Benyamine managed to stay out of the fray most of the time, and ended up with $100K in profits by taking a few pots without showdowns. AeJones won $28K and Hastings netted a small $5K win. Tom Dwan dropped $140K this night and is down at least -$250K in NLH this month.
