I started playing poker in 2006 upon retirement. Those hot shots back then that have departed from the memory, Gus Hanson and Tom Dwan. Those two were more known for their wild aggressive play that worked until the other players adjusted. They are now on the missing list at most tournaments and wouldn't be considered threats to winning.

He isn't appreciated at the table anymore since his role at black friday.
I wish someone would have told me that before I picked him as one of my 5 players in the Cardschat wsop Challenge...0 points.

I've never heard anything about George Danzer, that German player, nor have I ever seen him at any tournament.

What happened to Tom Dwan?

Tom Dwan was such a beast back in the day. Played totally fearless, bluffed like crazy, and had that intense stare—like he wasn’t even breathing during big hands. I really miss watching him go off in those wild high-stakes games.

Is he still playing anywhere—online or live? Haven’t seen much of him lately.

It is easy t o play fearlessly when you are being bankrolled and don't have to worry about losing your own money. Especially handy when bluffing costs you nothing. He disappeared after 4/15/2011 when Full Tilt ended its scam. He has showed up a few times the past few years but never made a big splash. Stories persist he owes Millions to people.

Nicholas Dumont won EPT Paris about 6-7 years ago. Never herd about him again until last WSOP series in Las Vegas. Saw him among participants in the Main Event. Not among winners though ...
