Full Tilt Poker is one of the biggest online poker rooms and certainly is the place to be for high stakes online poker action. The site is owned by some of the world's best-known poker players and Team Full Tilt recently decided to let a young gun join its team of professional players.
Young Gun of Poker
The newcomer to Team Full Tilt is the well-known 23-year-old Tom 'Durrrr' Dwan who started his online poker career at Full Tilt and rapidly built up his bankroll to eventually play the highest stakes the site had to offer.
In the beginning of this year Durrrr's confidence grew so large he put up a heads-up challenge in which he would pay his opponent $1.5 Million against his $500,000. This stunt gave him a huge amount of media attention from news sources throughout the world, and very likely contributed to him joining Team Full Tilt now.

Team Full Tilt consists of some of the top pros the live and online poker world has to offer, with amongst others Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Patrick Antonius, Erik Seidel and Gus Hansen. According to Howard Lederer, Dwan has been invited to join the Team because of his tremendous skill and dynamic way of playing.
Tom Dwan results are backing this claim as he managed to rake in an astonishing $5.4 Million playing online poker last year. On top of this he won the $1.1 Million first prize in Full Tilt´s Million Dollar Cash Game in London, and more than held his own in GSN´s High Stakes Poker TV Show.
