Durrrr’s Massive August 2010 Earnings On Full Tilt Poker

Watch Durrrr’s Carnage On FullTiltPoker


  • How Dwan Made all this money in early August

The 911K came at the expense of Patrik Antonius and online poker player Vaga_Lion, mainly playing the nosebleed stakes on FullTiltPoker . Although this is an incredible result, we have become accustomed to Dwan’s online poker exploits. Obviously winning money against Antonius isn’t easy. But what about Vaga_lion ?

  • Who Is Vaga_Lion : High Stakes Fish ?

Vaga_Lion is far from being a fish. In fact, he won the PokerStars Sunday Million for over 170,000 dollars . On top of his performances in shallow online poker tournaments, he is a seasoned cash game player. And the fact that he challenges Tom Durrr Dwan Online is certainly a testimony to his confidence as a poker player.

  • Vaga_Lion’s atypical background

Rob Akery (real name) started his career playing age of empires . He won tournaments there and starting training novice players and intermediates to better their games. He then transitioned to online poker.

This is atypical because a lot of poker players come from card games such as Magic the Gathering, but Ages of Empire is really off the beaten path.

Surprisingly, the crossover in skill between Age of Empire Tournaments and online poker may be more than meets the eye.

In any event, keep a close eye on Vaga_Lion. We would expect to see a revenge from him at the FullTilt tables soon.
