Well here's why he stays in Macau....he owes a lot of make up, pretty sure tom will be broke by 30, he's no Daniel negreanu or Phil ivy
"Tom's
bankroll was greatly depleted already. He went to macau to play the Hyper high stakes NL cash games were he actually went broke. This is not speculation but pure fact. Tom is a super nice guy and is well liked by one billionaire business man in particular who for last 19 months has backed Tom in the cash games.
Tom was in make up for nearly 12 months of over 55m HKD dollars but has now won everything back and is small winner.
This is the reason why Tom has not played the challenge as he did not have the money to cover the side bet of $1.5m usd or 500k usd+ to play 4 tables.
If anyone doubts this they can post on 2+2 or tweet Tom. Tom will naturally be ashamed to be 'outed' but he is a genuine guy with integrity and will not deny the claims. He may use avoidance tactics.
If he does deny at any time I will exclusively reveal his backer, his deal.
Sam Trickett has a similar deal that includes tournaments to. His last win in OZ and 1 drop he was only playing for a small % of actual cash prize."
This may sound like random rumours but if somehow this can come to the attention of Tom and Sam, just see if they deny it
