Tom "durrrr" Dwan does not tilt easily, but I bet he has to be tilted now. He just finished second in the WSOP Event #11, $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em.
Dwan earned almost $382,000 for his second place, but the first place would have earned him millions of dollars. Dwan has said, that "he has made a ton of bets at this year's WSOP, and a bracelet would definitely be his biggest winning day ever".
In the Heads Up Dwan lost to Simon Watt:
"Hand #148:
Tom Dwan has the button.
Dwan shoves his remaining 1,645,000 in the middle and Simon Watt instantly calls.
Showdown
Dwan: 
Watt: 
Tom Dwan and the dealer are the only people sitting in the ESPN final table area as the flop falls 
.
The crowd explodes into a chorus of sounds, some calling for cards, others celebrating red/black side bets. Dwan remains seated, silent.
The 
turns and Dwan finally stands, contempt with his fate. He needs one of three queens in the deck and the room falls silent as the dealer wraps the table...
The very second the 
hits the river Dwan shakes Watt's hand and heads directly for the exit.
"I can pick up my stuff tomorrow, right?" he asks a tournament director as he scurries off.
The director nods yes and Dwan is out the door."

-There is still a lot of events for "durrrr" to make a big run, so let's hope he goes deep also in the other events!
