We know. We can barely believe it ourselves.
After a two week break with no action, Challenge play resumed Sunday evening! Play began around 7:30PM ET, or 12:30AM in Monaco, where Patrik is currently staying with his family. The pair played for almost three hours before durrrr started to experience some internet connectivity problems and Patrik decided he was too tired to continue and headed to bed. Here is the chat from the end of their session:
durrrr: i might need to quit
durrrr: if intnet does that again
Patrik Antonius: thats fine i gotta go to sleep soon
And a few minutes later…
Patrik Antonius: going to bed
Patrik Antonius: i won around 89k?
Patrik Antonius: im too tired gg play tomorrow
Patrik probably got a peaceful night’s rest knowing that he picked up $87,611.50 on the session, which cuts durrrr’s overall lead to just $52,567. During the three hour sessions, the two players saw 914 hands, increasing the total number of hands played to 5,086. Patrik and durrrr are now 10% of the way through the challenge a month into play. Granted, there have been some long breaks in between sessions, but at this rate, it looks like it is going to take quite a while to get through the first of three challengers who stepped up to play durrrr.
With play back underway though, that gives us more hope that the prediction contest can continue on as planned. Be sure to keep following the action and start formulating your guesses of who will win and how much they will win by.
Here are some of the big hands from the session, including the biggest pot in a while, worth almost $140K:
