Tom Dawn, age 35, got the taste of online poker games while at 17, playing with the money he received on his birthday.

After devoting his time consistently, he had already made an earning of fifteen thousand dollars in about four months.

He continued his gameplay, harnessing his poker skills, which later garnered sufficient money to pay for his college.

He had even enrolled in engineering faculty at Boston University but dropped out after his first year to dedicate all his time to poker.

Dawson's Professional Achievements

With his mindset on being the poker master, Tom joined his first live tournament of the 2005 European Poker Tour held in London, taking home prize money of twelve thousand dollars.

Later he began playing at online platforms such as Full Tilt Poker and Poker Stars. There he competed against one of the top-notch players, Chris Ferguson, Phil Ivery, and Mike Matusow.

Eventually, after he reached the age of twenty-one, he was legally allowed in the tournaments in the US on platforms such as World Series of Poker and World Poker Tour, and that's when his game took its pace.

Though he was making a massive sum from his wins, it wasn't always the case. For example, in 2007, Tom faced a loss of two million dollars. But the following year, he covered his loss with a win of 5.41 million dollars.

Besides just accumulating a hefty net worth, the poker player also likes to extend his helping hands through charity.

Recently, Tom teamed up with Timothy Adams and Rick Salomon to help raise charity money for Triton Million Charity.

Apart from his astounding poker skills, his followers are reluctant to know who his wife is. But unlike his professional aspect, his personal life is not easy to access.
