Tom Dwan has never been one to shy away from a good old-fashioned bluff, has he? Well, that was fun.
Tom Dwan cost himself more than €300K after trying to bluff a hand!

Bit if a weird scenario for me.
I appreciate Triton Poker just 'released' the specific clip (as they have been doing regularly with edited clips from their own content), Pokernews picked up on it ( and therefore I presume CC also) and now obviously many are commenting on it. However, Pokernews could not even get the month right and stated 'back in March'. No, it was back in May.
Back in May I 'reported' on the Triton series within this sub-forum when Pokernews completely ignored the tournament as I provided a daily update on the series and the tournament winners along the way.
The entire point for me (as I noted at the time) is the Triton series is always an absolute blast, with a field comprised of billionaires and multi millionaire professionals playing at the highest stakes in a relaxed and convivial manner. The bets and swings can be crazy but...they also play 'short deck' and structure some tourneys in manner no one else does. It is well worth the watch and I hope more watch the future streams- and the likes of Pokernews actually bothers reporting on the Triton series in real time.
On another level Triton will return to Cyprus early September to stage a tournament series with GG Poker (they already held a High Roller Series in Cyprus earlier in the year).
Just to note- Triton also links to the full Madrid stream just below the clip and multi hour streams can of course be found on their You Tube channel...

Having seen the way this guy plays I can only say I'm surprised he hasn't been bankrupted half a dozen times.

I am sure he has.
In fact the rumor has been for some time that Dwan is bank rolled (bailed out?) by some of the parties at the table. Though, I would argue it could be other very rich Asians which is why Dwan disappeared off to Macau for several years - the billionaire poker players love Dwan's bluff style and when it pays off, they get paid off. I presume over the longer term that backing Dwan is neither a win or loss but they like the gamble.
What should be noted is when Dwan has been seen over this past year playing on US TV, he plays a very conservative game because I would guess, he's playing on his own dime. In that scenario he is not the reckless youthful Dwan of the before times. But back in the Triton scenario Dwan is suddenly swinging for the fences once again.
Those unfamiliar with Triton should note, that at that table were Paul Phua, founder of Triton Series, Wai Yong son of Richard Wong the founder of Triton Poker (both reputed to be billionaires) Elton Tsang and Rui Cao who are both high stakes ballers with deep connections, as well as Tony G, Timothy Adams and Tom Dwan.
And for what it's worth, not only did Elton Tsang call out Tom Dwan as playing 7-2, Rui Cao staked over $300,000 dollars on it and when he said if Dwan had called all in he would have shoved...anyone who has watched Rui Cao knows he was ready to do just that.

It was an incredible game!
If they hadn't discussed the 7.2 bluff beforehand, Dwan might have maybe made it.
As far as I've looked, Rui Cao is a serious Cash game player...
It was a great game!
Thanks for the video, it was worth watching. 👌

just curl around, it seems that they have a lot of notes on each other, otherwise you can't come up with something with the 8th eldest, Tom Dwan may once knew how to bluff, it won't work with the Chinese)))

Hi Mike.
Nice to see you bud,
Yes, I felt for Dwan as I know that feeling of losing lots of money on a bluff.

He can afford it, no worries. If your not bluffing sometimes, you're not playing poker. You're no always gonna get premium hands so you have to play the player and that's where bluffing comes in. Sometimes it works sometimes it don't. And remember, only gamble the amount you can afford to lose!
