After 13,000 played hands in the heads-up challenge between Patrik Antonius and Tom "Durrrr" Dwan, Antonius has taken a big lead with almost 500,000 US dollars ahead of his opponent Tom Dwan.

Its being a very interesting race, but we have to remember that it just passed one quarter of challenge. There is still a lot to happen, although its good news to Antonius.

I really hope that Patrick the Boss wins this one. I dont like Tom Dwan, although he is a great player too. But Pate is from finland so im on his side.

What the hell is going on? Is Dwan not getting enough 86o to 3bet? Dwan will lose it, but he will say at the end: "Lost it to Patrick, can get it back from Gus".

Well I'm a Durrrr fan and obviously I hope he wins.
However I think Patrik has this one in the bag. Patrik is just too good at PLO and Durrrr's main advantage was the multi tabling element. Now that Patrik has adjusted to playing 4 tables and is still in the lead. I don't think Durrrr will catch up.
If the challenge was NLHE I think Durrrr would win but at PLO Patrik's just too good.

400K minus for Dwan, thtas not really much with these blinds. 3 big pots for Dwan and he is in the lead. So 400K is not a very very big lead, just a lead.

Yep. It is substancial. Most of the time it was below 100k. So 400k is quite high. But PLO is swingy, and they have played just over 1/4 of the challenge, so a lot can happen.
