Tom Dwan will go on a down swing one day that will destroy him.It's going to happen, only a matter of time.His style is so wide open it has to lend itself to big swings.Check his poker tracker stats and it will bear this out somewhere I'm sure.Plus he's so young and yes he's so good that he has no fear.Well when he has a wife and a couple of kids (and he will)..that will change.That's when we see if he can handle the real pressure.I like to watch him play ,I just hope he doesn't blow his whole roll on a dare like he seems inclined to do.....coyboy33.....

Durrr is playing Hansen now. It should be at least another three hours until Antonius comes on, if Tom sticks around that long.

What happened to the first Dwan challenge? 1.5 million to 500,000. Didn't Ivy take him up on it?

Antonius is first, Ivey is 2nd. Benyamine may be 3rd, but frankly considering how long the first match is taking, I'd be surprised if Benyamine does it, but who knows.

Alls I know is that I love Durr after he spanked Safai for being an ***hole to him on PAD.

Just waited till the time was right and shut the big blowhard right up, huh? Pasty face that, punk.

Jesus... when you think about it.... 400$ big blind plus 200$ small blind times 50,000 hands is 30 million dollars in BLINDS. You really think 1.5 million is much compared to that? Unless they play very evenly, someone will be up many millions of dollars.

Over 50,000 hands, if they are comparable in skill, they have a very good chance of neither player being up that much. The amount that goes into the blinds is kind of irrelevant so far as I can tell.

In my opinion these guys are comlete idiots with money to burn, what is the most fun is to watch and read all the railbirds giving them crap each hand they play.

It seems Dwan is stringing this out for what it's worth, but Antonius doesn't seem to be online and looking to play much either. A time limit or schedule is needed. Tom should forfeit or both should call it quits. Tilt should probably just give Dawn the sponsorship he wants so when he loses all his money he can still get a free buy-in to the ME. Whatever they do, if I see an ugly-faced Dwan custom icon on Tilt I'm going to barf repeatedly. He ran very well for a period of time, but let's see him get out of this $400k+$1Mill. mess with Antonius without tilting the rest of his bankroll to the high rollers on Tilt.

After nine days off and the $40k event at the world series of poker in between, Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonius sat down for another session of the durrrr Challenge last night.
They played a little less than 1,000 hands and despite the fact Dwan won two of the three biggest pots, Antonius managed to grind out a $23k win, extending his overall lead to just under $450k.

the two famous contestants in the durrrr challenge did sit for a session last night, it lasted for only a little over 200 hands.
The hour-long session did see Tom Dwan start to climb out of his hole, winning just over $36k.
Unfortunately for Dwan, he still needs to win another $415k just to break even.
if both Dwan and Antonius continue to play a maximum of 200 hands (one hour) a week, the challenge should conclude around February 2013.

100,407,856: Total amount wagered in the challenge
411,191: Amount Antonius is ahead
36,493: Amount Antonius lost in the latest session
15,338: Total hands played so far
4,658: Average pot size
198: Number of hours played

Durrr a.k.a. "Poker's Favorite Smurfette", I hear this is what the pros have nicknamed him ;), is now only behind by $34k after 16k hands.
This should realistically be finished in about another full year.

Where do you think I got my info from? :cool:
P.S. the smurfette comment is not found on tilt's site, but is also completely factual.
