Dewey Tomko has played more consecutive World Series of Poker Main Events than anyone in history. He’s also made 23 WSOP final tables, won three bracelets, come runner-up in the Main Event twice, and finished seventh in 2006’s $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. tournament. Plus, if you happen to have a big bet you want to make, track him down – he just might give you some action.
