Monday, Feb 23, 2009 durrrr Challenge: Antonius Takes the Lead

The Finnish superstar has turned things around and is now $56,177 up against Tom "durrrr" Dwan.

It's still early days in the durrrr Challenge with 2,921 out of 50,000 hands played (only Omaha so far). Dwan has actually won a majority of the hands - 1,635 against 1,274 - but he is behind moneywise.

durrrr got a good start to the latest session, but Antonius made a nice comeback, and when the games stopped the Finnish pro hade made a $227,000 profit. In total, he is up $56,177.

In the biggest pot - $152,867 - Antonius slowplayed a pair of aces, both preflop and after flopping a full house (aces full of jacks). He waited until the river to move all-in, and durrrr called with an undisclosed hand.

The match will probably continue Monday. durrrr did, however, tell Antonius that he was going to go out, and that the game might be postponed.

From the Full Tilt chat:

durrrr: but if i drink too much
durrrr: then no game
