dwan is gaining slowly on Patrick and if he doesn't win some back in next sessions this challenge might be decided early and he might succumb to pressure

Big Smile Ofc Dwan is better. Player of the year 2009 in cashtables, that says a lot!

Tom Dwan had a minor downswing last year but I think this challenge confirms he is a good HU player. As a member of Full Tilt team, he can afford occasional bad beats.

Patrik is going to win the challenge, it doesnt matter how it looks now. Dwan will probably play very tight now so the number of hands are increasing safely, but the gambling gene in durrr will soon take over and crazy play starts, then its a steep hill down for him and Patrik wins it all. Blink

I would guess it ends about 100 K $+ for Patrik ! Big Smile

Yeap, durrr is my favorite player I am for him, but Antonius is great player too.. Will se who will win becouse 1milion is not high still left about 13k hands, so we will see

Dunno why but i think that challenge it's from start false just to promote Dwan which joined FTP when it started.
And nothing will change that Durr will won it...
And not because he is better...

Looks like durrrr is going to take this one home, the start for Patrik was good, but lately Tom is taking the main lead in these sessions

don't usually like HU players but dawn i do like
 JunkyMonkey13/02/2010 16:15:05 GMT
I love HU, love durrr challenge... pitty, I miss almost every live game @ ftp.

Over 30k hands down that took forever...Now I know I dont play a lot of poker (say 500/1k hands a week if I'm lucky) but this has really dragged on.
Dwan has Patrik Antonius on the ropes unless he's gonna do a Isidur1 and go nuts I cant see him coming back from $1,392,760 down. Ouch!

i got to give it to this guys; they played with huge stakes... the amount of that pot is 5m+ here in our currency...
