marathon
It was only sheer exhaustion that stopped Tom Dwan from
continuing to play beyond 2 040 hands in his latest 50
000 hand Challenge match against Patrik Antonius this
week. The two called it a night in the wee small hours
of the morning, promising to continue later.
The
two pros met again in an online clash almost three weeks
since their last Challenge encounter, which saw the
Challenge at last pass the half way stage.
In the
latest battle some $19 million crossed the table,
bringing the total amount wagered so far to an imprssive
$217 037 659, according to independent statistics from
MarketPulse.
Antonius and Dwan went at it from
early afternoon to around 2am the following morning,
taking brief breaks for sustenance and relaxation. 22
$100 000+ pots were contested, with the largest a
massive $293 000, won by Dwan. His luck continued to
hold, and he took the two other largest pots as well,
enabling him to end the session $81 000 in profit, and
extending his overall lead in the Challenge to $779 248.
The Challenge has now seen 27 185 hands played, or
54 percent of the target 50 000 reached.
