Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Full Tilt Poker have parted ways, a spokeperson for the site confirmed yesterday.

Rumors started swirling after Dwan's picture was taken off from the Full Tilt Poker login screen. Soon after a spokeperson for Full Tilt confirmed the news:

“Full Tilt Poker and Tom Dwan have agreed to part ways following the recent expiration of Dwan’s contract. To have one of the most respected names in poker on our team has been a great pleasure. We will continue to watch Tom at the tables and wish him every success in the future.”, Full Tilt Poker tells.

The news might not be a big surprise to poker fans, since Dwan has not really played online high stakes cash games actively recently and his challenge against Daniel "jungleman12" Cates failed to resume.
