Forget Thomas Edison, the most famous person to come out of Edison, New Jersey is online prodigy Tom Dwan. With teens all over the world ejaculating at the mere sight of the ‘durrrr’ moniker, Dwan has become one of the game’s most talked about players, winning and losing record-breaking pots that would make even Richard Branson wince in anguish.

At just 22 years of age, the college dropout student has accomplished more in a few years than most seasoned pros could wish for in a life-time: a predicted four million in online winnings, a WPT final table for $324,244, a memorable appearance on High Stakes Poker – all of which have earned him a near iconic status.

Currently residing in Fort Worth, Texas with fellow pro David ‘Raptor’ Benefield, Dwan recently challenged the world to a $1 million heads-up match on Full Tilt, tempting some of the game’s greatest talents with odds of 3:1. It is this unrelenting confidence, along with his sheer natural talent, that has seen him revolutionise the game and quickly become one of the most feared and respected players poker has ever seen.
