Fox Links Beef Jerky Wild Card Hand
In the September 4th installment of the Durrrr Challenge, Patrik Antonius and Tom “durrrr” Dwan battled for about 90 minutes. One pot was worth a rousing $90,000, but no showdown occurred, leaving us here at DurrrrChallenge.com wondering what each player had. In a similar setup to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Jack Link’s Beef Jerky Wild Card Hand that you see every Tuesday night, we speculate on what each player had. In the hand in question, Antonius raised to $1,200 pre-flop and Dwan made it $3,600. Antonius flat called the extra $2,400 and the flop came K-Q-8, all diamonds. Dwan bet $4,400 and Antonius made the call to see the jack of spades hit the turn. Dwan bet out $11,200, Antonius raised it up to $37,600, Dwan made it $128,800, and Antonius folded. The pot was worth just over $91,000. DurrrrChallenge.com sat down with PokerXFactor instructor Chris “Fox” Wallace… Read More »

Dwan and Antonius Play Mini Session
Just over a week after reigniting the Challenge by putting in some serious hours, durrrr and Patrik Antonius were back at it again this morning, playing for about 90 minutes. At the conclusion of their last session, Antonius had erased durrrr’s $750K advantage and put himself in the lead by $76,104. On this day though, durrrr was able to gain back some momentum. Early on, and in what would be the biggest pot of the brief battle, durrrr was able to cut into Patrik’s lead. After opening his button, durrrr flatted Antonius’ 3-bet and both players saw the flop come down 5-4-T. When Patrik put in a hefty pot-committing check-raise, durrrr decided to ship it in and the two players tabled their hands. Antonius’ K-K-9-T was essentially flipping with durrrr’s 8-8-6-3, but when the board ran 6-8, durrrr scooped the $107,987 pot. Some 450 hands later when they called it… Read More »
