It is so rare to see Tom Dwan on the felt. It's even more rare to see him away from poker and exposing any little truth about his personal life. That's why, back in November, when we heard that he was engaged, we lost our minds. Then throw a double bomb that there could be Tom Dwan babies on the way and call the crash cart; our hearts just stopped.
It's clear that Tom Dwan will always be one of the most mysterious people in poker, and it's that mystery that keep us all wishing that we'll see him at some event soon. That time is potentially now with the 2018 Aussie Millions underway in Melbourne. With the $100,000 Challenge just around the corner, we're still hoping to see even Phil Ivey make an appearance.
But now we have a clue that Dwan may potentially appear at the tables after he tweeted that he was in Melbourne attending the Australian Open and watching some women's tennis with his 'soon to be wife.'
So my soon to be wife loves tennis. Been in melbourne, playing almost no poker the last few days, just enjoying som… https://t.co/ws6lZdn4C0
— Tom Dwan (@TomDwan)OK, confirming his engagement via social is one thing, but then he shared an Instagram image of the tennis match he was watching — The women's Finals featuring Caroline Wozniacki and Simona Halep. Unfortunately, it's not a photo from his account he was sharing and it's not that photo we are interested in. Instead, we looked at the Instagram account and it belongs to his finance, Bianca Rosso. And she just has the perfect handle — durrrrswife.
Right now there's only two images, one of Wozniacki and the other... a sweet sunset photo of the couple casually captioned with 'sunset vibes.'
Our hearts just melted.
It's still not confirmed whether we will see Dwan (or Ivey) during Aussie Millions, but it is nice to see Dwan is not kidnapped or part of the Triads like people once believed.
No, no guys. Dwan is just living life and enjoying time with the new love in his life.

'I think this might be the only podcast I've ever done.'
After 80 minutes of enthralling conversation, this wasn't the biggest takeaway fans had from Brandon Adams' recent podcast with poker legend Tom Dwan, but it certainly was one of the more surprising.
The pair naturally spent time on poker, including Dwan's origins and mental approach to the game, but also touched on the election, the US economy, and the status of legalized online US sports betting.
You can check out the podcast episode for yourself below.
Dwan on High Stakes Poker
Having recently played in every session of the new High Stakes Poker, Dwan reminisced about his first experience playing on the show.
'The first few times I played High Stakes Poker, I think my no-limit game was quite a bit sharper than most peoples. And the gap was pretty big. So I was able to get away with playing a bunch of hands. Plus it was fun and obviously, it was my first time playing on TV. I was trying to play more hands and everything worked out.
'When I was bluffing, it would work out. When I had it, people would pay me off. I just ran really well. Now a lot of people’s no-limit games are sharper; I haven’t played much no-limit lately so my game isn’t super sharp. But these are deep-stacked games and sometimes, people use goofy sizes.'

First Taste of Live Poker
Dwan said that his first experience of live poker was at the Vic in London, which hosted the European Poker Tour stop for the first five seasons. He subsequently went to the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure where he encountered Jean-Robert Bellande.
How Much Is Tom Dwan Worth
'I was watching him playing $25/$50, and in a single-raised pot, he called 20k in a 70k pot with ace-jack on a jack-high board.
'I thought to myself 'what is this idiot doing'! And then he won the pot! Coming from online where this never happened, I started thinking: 'maybe I should start learning about this live poker thing'!'

Dwan the Student
With over $3m in live earnings according to The Hendon Mob, Dwan admits his transition from online to live had a learning curve to it.
'Back then it wasn't easy to get high-level poker education. I knew I had played more hands in the last year than the guys [at the table], and there were certain strategic things or concepts that I knew better, but I tried to learn from a lot of the people playing live stuff that they knew that I didn't.'
'Back then it wasn't easy to get high-level poker education...'
This included live tells, an alien concept to an online crusher, as well as the problems that boredom has on a live player at the table.
'Things like where you don't get a hand for an hour, so you bluff it off. Because you're not multi-tabling at home more comfortably.'
Dwan says that if someone came up with a new game, he'd be good at it. But the learning process was the important part.
'How good you were at a new game wasn't important day one, but it's how fast you learn and pick up from other people.'
The Future of Poker
Before the pandemic, Dwan had switched his attention to live short deck with some 'pretty big' short deck games going on for a while. However, his days of grinding for an entire day may be behind him.
'Over the last few years I don't feel as sharp after 20-30 hours as I used to, but I also haven't played that many long sessions. So it's probably part of it. I'm more out of practice. I used to have those much more regularly.'
Tom Dwan Age Defying
As well as playing, Dwan still keeps an eye on legislative developments, especially in the United States. He believes there is an opportunity for sites to expand, as long as they police bots and cheaters 'aggressively.'
'I think there's a large opportunity coming with the US opening up'
'People in the US love poker and they haven't had an easy way to play since Black Friday. I think there's a large opportunity coming with the US opening up. If sites police it well, I could see there being somewhat of a golden age. Maybe not quite as much as the first...'
Dwan repeated the concept of a 'golden age' on numerous occasions, especially as part of the wider legal gambling space that poker could be a part of.
'Sports over the next few years...it's pretty unlikely it doesn't play out. There are different scenarios where it could be bigger or smaller. But with poker, a lot depends on how aggressive the operators are on how to level the playing field, and there's not one answer.
'Hopefully it happens, but we'll see. It's still undecided, but if it happens there could be a really good spot for poker in the next few years'
