Durrrr has taken a taken a bad turn, and the challenge now shows it's biggest deficit for either player.

500 K is somehow a large sum of money but not too much at these stakes imo

durrrr can easily turn this the other way cause theres only 13 K outa 50 K hands played. However, i think PA has an edge over Dwan at this challenge so far. It seems to me like PA is tighter somehow ( never thought i would i say that of PA) than durrrr than constantly goes all in on multiple draws.

I saw an interview of PA and he said that he had trouble 4 tabling. He said that he constantly timed out but it looks like he has reached his comfort zone in this challenge. Lets see if he reacher the cool million mark before the 20 K hands.

500K ain't "somehow a large sum of money," it IS a large sum. Razz

However, in this tournament format, I agree with the masses that feel that Tom Dwan CAN recoup this deficit. His problem though, at this particular stage of the event (27% complete), is Antonius himself. He's a tough nut to crack, is un-tilt-able, and VERY savvy at the tables. He's not impulsive, and, should he significantly increase his lead over Dwan, Antonius will make it VERY difficult for 'durrrr' to make it back into the tourney.

After listening to one of PA's interviews recently, he sounds a little chagrined that the time zones involved between the two players is draggin things out, not to mention that PA's a little ticked that Dwan declines to play quite a bit, when PA requests play. Sounds like Antonius didn't expect this challenge to drag out this long, and has gone on record that he will NOT be playing this challenge event with Dwan during the WSOP, which will probably drag the challenge out past the six-month mark. (Ouch.) Hey, stuff happens.

Bottom line, it'll be interesting to watch the next long session between these two, specifically to see if PA can increase his lead on the combustible-yet-cool durrrr. Dwan can't let this thing get out of control. He's a fantastic player, but he's $5M behind one of the best players in the world. "Ain't gonna be easy."

Watching Durrr play on High Stakes poker, I must admit that I am not impressed. His moves are not as much brilliant as they are reckless.

durrrr got nearly all his money back in less than 1000 hands.
why always talk about him as it is only luck where he is?? if one's BR is not even 0,01% of his from playing poker, one shouldnt argue like that...

i think he s just good and fun to watch
