2024 Wynn Millions
Tom Dwan, who spoke with PokerNews on Friday and then again on Sunday, is back on X after being locked out of his account, and he's firing back at those who have accused him of failing to make whole unpaid debts.
The poker legend who once ruled the Full Tilt Poker streets under the screen name "durrrr," had some choice words for Haralabos Voulgaris and Peter Jetten. But one player owes money to, Dan "Jungleman" Cates, stood up for him in a surprisingly cordial tweet.
Amidst all the bickering on social media, Dwan also made the news Friday when he signed as an a new ambassador of an unregulated poker site, a site that many poker players have reported has a never-ending bot problem.
Check out the 45-minutes interview Dwan gave to PokerNews' Chad Holloway on Sunday night:
[Removed:456] raised to 250,000 and Neel Murthy called from the button before Haim Gabay came along from the big blind.
The flop was 7?8?Q? and both Gabay and Martin checked. Murthy fired 450,000 and Gabay folded before Martin shoved 2,775,000. Murthy called and the cards were turned over.
[Removed:456]: A?Q?
Neel Murthy: A?8?
The board finished up with no help for Murthy and Martin secured the early double with a pair of queens.

Welcome to Day 5 of the $3,500 Wynn Millions Championship. Cards go in the air at 12 p.m. for the finale of this flagship event.
A total of 1,180 entries turned out and 14 players survived to Day 4, five of which will return today to play for the top prize of $596,067. The tournament built a prize pool of $3,746,500 and all five returning players are guaranteed at least $165,379.
Neel Murthy is the leader with more than half the chips in play after he spun it up from one of the shorter stacks on Day 4. His last run at the Wynn was in the WPT World Championship, where he placed 27th in the December showcase. Murthy has the opportunity to add significantly to his $1.1 million in lifetime earnings with a strong finish today.
He's followed by Chris Frank and Haim Gabay — the other other players over eight million in chips. Jesse Kandola and [Removed:456] round out the final five with the two shorter stacks of just over 25 big blinds.
