With their three hour 1063-hand session early this morning, Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonius have finally reached the halfway mark of the durrrr Challenge’s 50K required hands. It’s been a see-saw battle thus far, but for the second session in a row durrrr took it to Patrik and has once again built a formidable lead.
Dwan got off to a hot start when he won a $194K pot that ended up being the biggest of the sesh. In the hand, Patrik 4-bet min-raised Tom’s 3-bet from the button, only to see durrrr put in a 5-bet to $18K, which he called. When the flop came down 5-K-8, Tom lead out for $36K and Patrik tank-called. When the turn brought the 7d (putting three diamonds on the board), durrrr put all of his chips in the middle and Patrik quickly called, only to see his two-pair crushed by Dwan’s top set.
In the most interesting hand of the morning, durrrr flatted Patrik’s 3-bet on the button and they took a Js 3c 9s flop. Antonius led for $7.2K and durrrr called, and then he led again when the 3s turned, this time for $13.2K, and Tom once again called. When the river dropped the Ts Patrik triple barreled, and Tom immediately put him all-in. When the two men tabled their hands, Antonius’ straight flush had durrrr’s rivered boat absolutely hammered.
Over the course of the session, Tom and Patrik traded blows and momentum swings, but fortunately for durrrr, he won the three largest pots and ended play up $418K. After 25,145 hands, durrrr has a $697,532 lead over Patrik Antonius.
