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.
