Tom Dwan, a prominent figure in the poker world, has been announced as the newest pro for ACR Poker, amidst a backdrop of controversy. ACR Poker expressed their confidence in Dwan by backing him with a six-figure sum for the Triton Series, despite recent allegations of unpaid debts, including a notable claim from Canadian poker player Peter Jetten. Dwan's sponsorship has generated significant discussion, with ACR highlighting his role as an ambassador and his plans to introduce 'Durrrr's Game' to the online high-stakes scene. This move comes after ACR faced scrutiny over a major bot ring issue and Dwan's own financial controversies were brought to light. The poker community has been buzzing with opinions on Dwan's new role, including a mix of skepticism and anticipation for what his involvement could bring to the online poker landscape. The announcement was described as 'Monster News' by ACR, and Dwan has been seen sporting the ACR Team Pro patch in Jeju this week, confirming it's not just a one-time deal. Additionally, there was mention of a $100k scam challenge related to Dwan's reliability in paying debts, an April Fool joke anticipation, and a unique media image released by ACR. The situation has also sparked discussions about a 'progressive squid game' and Dwan's recent Twitter rant post-Triton Series Jeju.
Principled @TomDwan signed as ambassador for @ACR_POKER. What, @MrSantosNY not available?
Just chatted w/ @TomDwan, who is at Triton Series Jeju, for about 10 minutes before his phone died. It was right after his Twitter rant, so got into that, the stuff behind it (i.e. the @PeterJetten & @haralabob callouts), and his new sponsorship deal. Coming soon to @PokerNews. https://t.co/K38m2SREyi
POLL: Will Tom Dwan still be an ACR Team Pro on March 8, 2025?
Big announcement for @ACR_POKER, signing @TomDwan. This comes off the heels of ACR having a major BOT ring exposed while Tom had 6-figs of debt exposed. Forget all that though, have you heard about the progressive squid game?🦑 📺Tune in LIVE at Noon PT https://t.co/ETXqG8wgrP https://t.co/yUO1mnybwL

This is the media image ACR have just put in their press release about signing Tom Dwan as an ambassador. He literally looks like he is getting up to go hide because he saw @PeterJetten in the hallway. https://t.co/gqE5he7b8o
An illegal online poker site just sent me a PR that they have signed Tom Dwan as a pro, so that tracks.
