The ��durrrr�� Challenge: Dwan Increases Overall Lead to $2 Million
Tom ��durrrr�� Dwan and Patrik Antonius sat down for another session of the ��durrrr�� Challenge in the wee hours of Tuesday morning for their second meeting in 48 hours. Although they didn��t play for long, logging only 36 minutes of playing time and 181 hands, Dwan came away a $459,961 winner, pushing his total earnings in the challenge over the $2 million mark. With 10,564 hands left to play, Antonius now needs to earn an astounding $195 per hand in order to catch Dwan and avoid paying out an additional $500,000.
Dwan started off strong in this session, picking up his first six-figure pot only four minutes into the match. Dwan opened for $1,200 on the button, Antonius three-bet to $3,600 and Dwan made the call. Antonius check-called Dwan��s $4,800 bet on the J?9?3? flop. The turn was the 2? and Antonius checked again. Dwan bet $12,200 and Antonius repotted to $53,400. Dwan called all-in for $47,199, turning over J?9?8?7? for top two pair, while Antonius showed A?A?K?2? for an overpair. The Q? on the river sealed the deal for Dwan who raked in the $111,197 pot.
All told, this session produced five six-figure pots, three of them unfolding in the last seven minutes of play. Not surprisingly, Dwan won all of them. The session��s largest monsterpotten topped out at over $157,000 and was five-bet before the flop �� Antonius opening for $1,200, Dwan reraising to $3,600, Antonius four-betting to $7,200 and Dwan coming back over the top for $21,600. With $43,200 already in the pot and only another $57,194 behind, Dwan was essentially committed on the Q?9?3? flop. He led out for a pot-sized bet, Antonius set him in and Dwan called.
Dwan K?Q?Q?10?
Antonius Q?9?8?6?
That flop turned out to be quite the cooler, Dwan hitting top set and a straight draw while Antonius flopped top two pair. The 2? on the turn gave Dwan a flush draw to boot and negated two of Antonius�� outs, and the river fell the 5?, Dwan raking in the $157,587 pot.
A few minutes later, Antonius decided he��d had enough for one night.
