'durrrr Challenge' Update: Dwan Picks up $55,000 in Short Session
After a ten-day break, the "durrrr Challenge" finally resumed Sunday afternoon, with Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Patrik Antonius playing an eleventh session in their heads-up $200/400 pot-limit Omaha match. The two squeezed in 24 minutes of play in between sessions at their regular $500/1,000 mixed HA game, logging 154 more hands on the long road to 50,000. Dwan got the best of Antonius in this installment, posting a $55,634 win to retake the overall lead. Dwan is currently up $30,577 on Antonius after 7,247 hands.
Only one six-figure pot unfolded in this brief session. Dwan made a standard opening raise to $1,200 and Antonius called from the big blind. Antonius led out on the J?9?6? flop for $2,400, Dwan raised to $8,600, Antonius three-bet to $28,200 and Dwan came back over the top for the rest of his chips, $60,799 in all. Antonius called, revealing Q?10?8?7? for a complete wrap draw while Dwan held K?J?J?8? for top set. The turn was the 3?, missing Antonius' outs and the river blanked out for him again when the 2? fell, Dwan's hand holding up to earn him the $123,997 pot.
Antonius quit the match a short time later after deciding to turn in for the night, leaving Dwan free to engage in a little exercise.
Patrik Antonius: going to bed play tomorrow

durrrr: i kindv wanted a reason to skip, its so far away

It appears, though, that Dwan never made it onto the court. A bit over an hour later he was check-raising away against Gus Hansen, David "MR B 2 U SON" Benyamine, Hac "trex313" Dang and Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond at the $500/1,000 "Hansen's Gym" mixed HA table.
