Dewey Tomko has played poker for over 35 years with most of that time playing tournament poker. Dewey Tomko also used to work as a kindergarten teacher. Tournament results, links and brief biography.

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 he 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 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.

Dewey 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.
