Finally A Decent Sized Durrrr Challenge Session!

We have been patiently waiting for a session of 2000 hands - and that is what we got.... with Antonius taking an 80k lead over Tom Dwan when the dust settled. The pivotal hand of the seesion was a $140k pot which saw Durrrr go from 60 / 40 favorite pre flop to massive underdog on the flop, yet still manage to win.

Here are the scores as of the 8th of April - again we notice the low variance which is characterising the challenge to date...

Hands Played: 9290
Dwan, minus $82,696.00
Antonius, plus $80,707.50
(which clearly shows Full Tilt enjoying almost $2k in rake.... come on guys - wake up before this amount gets embarrasing!)

And the swing in the latest session... $112K in favor of Patrik Antonius.

Here is a great hand from the last session - key here are position and the fact that so much money went into the pot pre-flop that neither player could really fold.

Hands:

Dwan As-Ac-7c-3h (BB)
Antonius: Ks-Kd-9d-Qs (button)

- Pre-flop matchup Dwan 60% : 40% Antonius

Betting: Antonius raises to $1200, Durrrr raises to $3600, Antonius raises to $10800, Durrrr raises to $32400, Antonius calls $21600... putting $65k into the pot with effective stacks now $40k each

Flop Jd-5d-7d

Matchup Dwan 4% : 96% Antonius

Dwan made the last raise pre-flop and is 1st to act, he can not give Antonius auto credit for the flush so pushes, easy call by Patrik of course with the 2nd nut flush + pair.

The turn 5... the river... another 5 and Dwan wins with a full house... scooping a $143k pot. Might have been interesting the other way around - as holding here would have put Antonius over $200k to the good at this stage.

Of course, with the large pot pre-flop the hand played itself, two quesions...in terms of equity was Antonius unlucky - half in as a 40 / 60 dog and the other half as a 96% favorite seems to make him +ev over time here??? And secondly could Dwan have found a fold had Antonius been first to act on the same flop?
