When Tom “durrrr” Dwan and Patrik Antonius began their epic heads up matches several months ago, one of the big questions floating around the internet was how many hands they would have to average so they would be done by the start of the 2009 World Series of Poker. There seemed to be no doubt they would want the challenge to be completed by then to concentrate on picking up WSOP cash and bracelets. Turned out that was needless questioning because neither pushed the action.
There have been few sitings of either player in the halls of the Rio this series. Dwan was seen playing in the $10,000 Heads Up World Championship but I believe it was his only event. Antonius has not been seen at all prompting speculation he has not been feeling well. His girlfriend Maya has played several events (as witnessed by you faithful blogger posting her pics) but he has been a no show.
It seems while I’ve been slaving away in the Amazon Room the two of them picked up steam and they played a monster session late in the week. Dwan came away having erased his deficit and finished with a massive +$720,000 lead over Antonius. They each sported huge stacks at the tables and 9 of the biggest 10 hands of the challenge were played in that stretch.
The Full Tilt durrrr Challenge tracking page has a hand replayer with those 10 hands, you can pull them up and see how the action went down. The biggest pot in the challenge to date went to Dwan for over $477,000, he won with a flopped boat versus a turned smaller boat.
Action these days isn’t retricted solely to the live games and tournaments here at the Rio, the big games are still hot if you wish to follow online. As alway, you can track the stats and hands via the durrrr Challenge page on FullTiltPoker.com.
