The Durrrr Challenge Gets Very Tight after a couple of short sessions

Durrrr and Patrik Antonius played 2 short sessions over the weekend with very different results.  In the first session Patrik dominated Dwan finishing the session up $161K and pulling into the lead with a $107K advantage over Dwan.  The next session was the complete opposite with Dwan coming up on top by $123K and pulled back into the overall lead by just $15K.  The two have now played a total of 5928 hands.  It looks promising that the challenge is still going and the two are still meeting for sessions, but with 44000 hands yet to be played and the sessions seeming to get further and further apart, we can only hope that the challenge is completed in the next few months.

The Durrrr Challenge is back and Antonius pulls closer to Durrrr

The Durrrr Challenge finally had it’s sixth session after a long lull.  This session lasted for almost 3 hours and 914 hands were played.  After it was all said and done, Antonius was up a little over $87K for the day, which brings him back to within $53,640 of Tom ‘Durrrr’ Dwan.  Hopefully the challenge will continue and regain the hype that it had at the beginning before the long break.  The battle is as close as it has ever been and it will be fun to watch the next 45,000 hands play out.
