Tom "durrrr" Dwan has showcased a brilliant performance unseen at the high stakes tables. He mounted an amazing comeback in the durrrr Challenge while playing other top pros on other tables at the same time!
The durrrr Challenge has reached an unexpected twist when nobody thought that there would be much, if any action between Patrik Antonius and Tom "durrrr" Dwan, due to the World Series of Poker. However, the two played some of the longest sessions thus far and Dwan turned over a night all the doubters into believers that he can win the challenge.
After narrowing Antonius' lead down to just $34,000, Dwan mounted a huge comeback to take the control of the challenge and put himself in a serious lead. It is worth noting that Dwan made this comeback while playing likes of Gus Hansen at three HU PLO tables.
The session lasted for 15 hours with 4,523 hands exchanged between the two. Antonius was up by $250,000 after the first few hours, but then his boat flipped upside down and sank right to the bottom of the ocean.
Dwan was unstoppable and combined with some hands he started to hit, he slowly built up huge stacks on each table. In 3-4 hours, Dwan was very close to reaching a $1 million stack on one of the tables and his total profit was over $1.3 million at one point. Antonius barely managed to fight back and decrease the losses to "just" $764,000. With such a great session behind him, Dwan has now taken over the lead and is ahead of Antonius by $726,545 after a total of 20,647 hands played thus far in the challenge.
Here are some of the biggest pots of that epic session:
Patrik Antonius raised to $1,200, Tom Dwan made it $3,600 and Antonius called. The flop came 8s5dKh, Dwan bet $4,800 and Antonius called. The turn brought 6d, Dwan checked, Antonius bet $13,200, Dwan check-raised to $56,400 and Antonius called. The river came 7d, Dwan checked again, Antonius moved all-in for $123,596 and Dwan called. Dwan turned over 7c9dAdAs to scoop the pot worth $376,791, as Antonius revealed 8h8dTs2s.
