Early Monday morning Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonius played another short session in the durrrr Challenge; as has been the trend lately, durrrr emerged victorious and took his lead up to 1.76 million in the Challenge.


It lasted just 342 hands but durrrr managed to widen the gap by $342,157 in that short time. In total 33,242 hands have now been played, almost exactly 2/3 of the required 50,000, and durrrr leads by $1,755,708 - after winning more than $1 million in the last 3,500 hands or so which just shows how bad Antonius has been running lately.

"Has durrrr already won the challenge?" asks Highstakesdb.com in their review of the session, but this still seems like premature speculation. While it's true that Antonius needs to win more than 26bb/100h if he wants to turn it around in the remaining hands, we have already seen really big swings in the Challenge (see graph below) and there's no reason why it can't happen again.

Videos of some of the hands can be found on the durrr Challenge page on Full Tilt Poker.
