Tournament Report
| Longtime Poker Pro Dewey Tomko Wins First WSOP Tournament in 20 Years
Dewey Tomko has been a force in poker for more than two decades. He won two World Series of Poker events in 1984, and but is perhaps even better known as a two-time runner up in the championship event - 1982 (losing to Jack Straus) and 2001 (losing to Carlos Mortensen).
Tomko is a man of extraordinary dedication, to the game of poker and to his son, Derek - also now a poker player....not necessarily in that order. Tomko took a ten-year hiatus from the game to raise his son, vowing to spend more time with him growing up, rather than traveling around as a touring pro. Five years ago, Tomko came back to poker with a vengeance, winning over a million dollars from his second-place finish in the 2002 main event, and just as much if not more money in big cash games.
The 58-year-old self-employed entrepreneur from Winter Haven, FL won the $1,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em event, topping a highly-competitive field of 157 players. Tomko was given a gold ring for his win, marking a breakthrough victory in WSOP play.
