Born and raised in New Jersey, Tom Dwan discovered poker while he was a student at Boston University. He took to the game instantly and never looked back.

Starting off at the smaller stakes, Dwan quickly made his way up through the ranks and graduated to the highest levels of play. Within no time, Dwan was considered one of the world’s preeminent high-stakes ring game players, routinely facing off against the likes of Team Full Tilt’s Phil Ivey, Gus Hansen and Patrik Antonius.

While best known for his play in high-stakes ring games, Dwan has also established himself as a formidable tournament player who has earned more than $1 million in prize money. His tournament successes include three World Series of Poker cashes, a 9th place finish at the 2009 National Heads-Up Poker Championship and a 4th place finish at the 2007 World Poker Tour Main Event in Foxwoods Casino.

Dwan is also a staple of poker television shows. He has appeared numerous times on Poker After Dark, High Stakes Poker and Full Tilt Poker.net’s Million Dollar Cash Game, where he won a pot worth more than $1.1 million – the largest in televised poker history.
