A couple of days ago there was a little action in the durrrr Challenge again but Patrick Antonius and Tom "durrrr" Dwan only managed to play 226 hands before they stopped playing. After these 226 hands Antonius managed to make a $9.5K profit which means that he is now a little over $140K down in total.

fcumred, afaik theres cap on the rake taken by the house on ftp to $0.5. and of course, the rakeback accumulated a month for these high stakes players wont hardly cover a 3x pf raise lol

Posted by GeneYuss: I don't think there is anyway Dwan is broke. How much is he down this year?
H**********b has him down ~ 3.3 million.
Thanks for the info shokaku.
I'd be surprised if Dwan issued the million dollar challenge with only 3.3 mill. And didn't Dwan win around ~7 million last year? He probably has some of that left over.
I'm just wondering how much HSP and other shows pay the players because there is no way they play for free. I know a lot of sponsors pay the players but some players don't have sponsors.

You misunderstoud my post. Dwan has lost 3.3 million this year. For 2008 they have him up 5.5 million. But h**********b only cover online games, and do miss some there too.

I know what you meant. It's just rumored that Dwan is broke. So if Dwan's bankroll was only 3.3 mill at the beginning of the year than he'd be broke but I don't think he's broke. What do you think? I seen a thread in Oct.2008 where Dwan was down to 1mill. Do you know how much rakeback Dwan gets? I think all Full Tilt Pros like Antonius get 100% rakeback?

He was down even more in February. So i don't think he is broke. Where does this rumour come from?
Rake is comparable low at the high stakes. So rakeback will not save the day.
