It could be lost in translation, but a report from CardPlayerLAon Friday claimed that Tom Dwan won $25 million in a cash game in Macau last week. According to the article, a friend of CardPlayerLA was at StarWorld in Macau, where Dwan (pictured) was playing $6,000/$12,000 No Limit Hold’em. The game was reportedly four-handed and featured Dwan alongside three businessmen.

CardPlayerLA’s source was discussing Dwan’s recent antics in Macau while the man himself was one table over. The article explained, “Dwan lost $7 million in one day and returned to the United States. However… last week, [he] won a record jackpot of $25 million at a similar table of $15,000/$30,000.” That tidbit was enough to ignite a frenzy on Two Plus Two, even though no confirmation from Dwan was given and the report was not written in English.

Dwan recently parted ways with Full Tilt Poker, where he was a member of the site’s pro team dubbed The Professionals, and has seemed to be concentrating quite a bit on live play. As one poster responded, “I can definitely see why he gave up on the online games and started focusing on live. Which is easier to beat: online poker pro computer nerds or wealthy business owners who view gambling as their entertainment and don’t mind losing millions doing it?”

Editor’s Note: On Friday after this story was published, Dwan posted on Twitter that the CardPlayerLA article was not true, saying, “So at the time of this bogus Macau story 36hrs ago, I was losing on my Macau trip, and definitely hadn’t won 25 million in a session.” Bummer.

Last October, it was revealed that Dwan’s “biggest loss ever,”which came in a game at StarWorld, was reportedly $4 million. Macau is ripe for high-stakes games, according to our article from October, which read in part, “Macau has emerged as the go-to destination for ultra high-stakes live poker action… The territory is heavily dependent on casinos and tourism and attracts whales from the Chinese mainland who don’t bat an eye at splashing around millions of dollars on a few hands of poker.”

Posters on Two Plus Two also reported seeing the likes of Phil Ivey and Andrew Robl in Macau.
