Tom “durrr/Hold_emNL” Dwan has soared at Internet games this week (at least so far). On Monday alone, he won an astonishing 844.000 dollars on Full Tilt Poker games. And it seems like Dwan is doing quite allright on the PokerStars, too!

Dwan saw some action at PokerStars late Wednesday evening, when a Russian player “august35″ sat down with him. The players ended up playing two $200/$400 Pot-Limit Omaha tables.
