Mammoth Session Nets Durrrr More Than 3/4ths Of A Million!

This is better, just how we imagined that the challenge would be when it started in the cold winter months! 4527 hands saw some massive swings, pots bigger than the entire variance in the challenge to date... and ultimately resulted in Tom Dwan wiping out his small defecit and turning this into a positive balance of $726,546.50.... Antonius losing $731,108.00 with the difference being the rake for greedy f-ers Full Tilt Poker.

A couple of observations from watching the challenge today. First was the appearance that Dwan has figured Antonius on paired boards... anecdotal only without a big database of hands to unpick, but Durrrr acted fast and aggressively on almost every paired board that appeared, taking down what appeared to be more than his fair share.

Secondly, while the cards will of course even out over time, there were some monster pots decided by rivers for both players - for example one of the biggest pots of the session saw Dwan rivering trip kings (to repeat, works for both players). Strange how 1 hand could have such an effect in the short run.

So, here are the scores as of 19th June:

Hands Played 20, 647

Tom Dwan: + $726,546.50
Patrik Antonius - $731,108.00
