The boys came back to the Durrrr Challenge after what can only be referred to as the “Isildur1 Hiatus,” as both participated in nosebleed action on Full Tilt Poker with the Swedish superstar. However, on December 7th, there was a short session put in that didn’t see any significant change in Durrrr’s lead. Let’s take a look at a couple of hands and see what happened.

Analysis
Pre-flop, we see Durrrr with 8-4-2-4 suited to hearts, hardly a big hand even in heads-up Pot Limit Omaha. Yet, he went ahead and called Antonius’ 3bet bet. We know now that Antonius was 3betting with 3-K-5-K suited to spades for a much stronger hand. Comparing pre-flop hands, Antonius had a strong 68% to 32% advantage. With the flop of 9-A-4 rainbow, Antonius led out with his pair of kings on the ace-high board and Durrrr raised with bottom set. The surprising action was when Antonius came over the top to put Durrrr all-in on a bluff with second pair and a gutshot straight draw, not counting his backdoor nut flush draw. Dwan was more than happy to oblige with the 75% to 25% advantage and, with the deuce on the turn, Antonius managed to hit his miracle straight and take a big 78% to 22% advantage. However, fate was quite fickle, with another deuce hitting the river and giving Durrrr the winning boat.

Analysis
With Durrrr once again on the button, we saw him raise with a very modest 3-8-4-7 double-suited to spades and diamonds. This time, Antonius held not pocket kings, but pocket queens, with 6-Q-6-Q. He 3bet yet again and this time, Dwan 4bet. Antonius called and the players saw an A-Q-2 rainbow flop. Dwan had a gutshot to a five for a straight and, when checked to, made a half-pot bet that Antonius called, clearly looking to slow-play his middle set. With the seemingly harmless five hitting the turn, Antonius managed to trap himself by check-raising for his stack and got it in terribly as a 75% to 25% dog. The king hit the river and Durrrr managed to scoop a $131,190 pot.
