Yesterday, it was finally time for another durrrr challenge session between Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Patrik Antonius. Lots of people rushed to their computers as 2 of the worlds best were about to play some real high stakes poker at Full Tilt. None of these people/spectators can have been disappointed with the action field game they got to watch.
During 7 hours, Dwan and Antonius played almost 2000 [...] Read more » durrrr challenge: Tom Dwan's lead is getting bigger

Haha, Dwan is really one of the best... hard for Antonius to beat him. 30 K hands, Dwan is still best, thats nice ! Hope they will bring yet some more actions

saw that result on HSDB, i think patrick antonius still have his chances to come back, the swings are huge every sessions and 1M$ is not that hard to get back considering dwan won over 220k$ in only 2000 hands.

A little less than a million advantage? That's nothing. The challenge is just half way to the end, so anyone can win. Didn't Antonius won a pot big enough against Isildur to cover almost two times the disadvantage he has? It can happen something like that on durrrr challenge and give him the lead, or a similar pot can be won by durrrr and there I would agree with an almost game over.

Who would say this would happen, hein? Just a couple of months ago, Patrick was leading big and no one would give the minimum chance to durrrr, although both are extremely good and experienced players. Now things just got upside down, and Antonius is the one who needs to do something not to loose too much. What will still happen? We just have to wait and see.

Do you think they want to promote that Dwan is not a crap player (loosing to isildur back then all the time , didn't do anything nice from the time he join FTP) so they will show , a "nice fight" between them in the end but Dwan will win i think....

I'd have liked to see him lose the challenge by a landslide, but unfortunately I don't think Antonius ca reverse the situation. How Antonius got to lose so much against a crazy player like Dwan is beyond me

Cool he has quite a bit of a lead going into the home straight. I think he can keep the pressure on and bring this baby home. I think he is the better player and time after time it keeps showing this. Almost $1million up with 30,000 hands played, thats good going actually thats fooking fantastic i'd say.
