The answers to all these questions was partly given by Winfried Yu, one of the founders of Big Poker in Macao. He owns заведением Poker King Club in Manila (Paranak), Philippines, where Triton Super High Roller Series finished recently. The clubs is situated in Solaire Hotel & Casino.
That’s the place Tom Dwan was last noticed playing. In the both tournaments of the series– HK$ 200,000 Suncity Cup и HK$ 500,000 Main Event – the American wasn’t ITM but at least he was in front of the cameras and showed that he still has some bankroll.
It was not the Triads
About six years ago Dwan first came to Poker King Club in Macao. Since then he actively participates in private cash games on the highest of stakes. About the same time Tom terminated his contract with Full Tilt Poker and stopped representing re-opened after Black Friday poker room.

“Tom is a cool guy and he doesn’t afraid of action – so he gets invited to private games. VIP players like action. I’ve read Tom was kidnapped or he joined Triada and now has dangerous backers, but this is bullshit”.
Dwan in Manila
Lately Dwan spent really huge amounts of time in Macao where he hired a teacher on Nother-Chinese (Mandarin Chinese). The legendary player feels himself great among Asian super highrollers.
When all the Chinese highroller “band” had to come to Philippines from Macao, Tom followed. He is now often seen in Solaire Hotel & Casino, where the most expensive ash games in the world happen.
By the way, Tom was noticed in Montenegro this summer, where he was playing at VIP-table, where he showed 6+ Hold’em.
