ONE PERCENT BURST ON DURRR CHALLENGE (Update)

11 September 2009

Another 458 hands of play lopped off 50 000 hand challenge
 

Patrick Antonius and Tom 'durrr' Dwan played another short episode in their 50 000-hand, million dollar endurance challenge as the week ended, but it was an unremarkable clash that saw Dwan come out ahead by around $27 000.

The two played 458 hands in which another $37 million crossed the felt, and moved the whole long-running affair forward by a percentage point to 46 percent complete.

Dwan went on to explore the action on the $300/$600 Pot Limit Omaha and even riskier $500/$1 000 NLHE high stakes virtual tables, but it was not a happy experience for the daring pro who found himself down $860 000 on the session, thanks mainly to the equally aggressive and audacious Di 'urindanger' Dang. Despite the big losses, there was no repetition of the massive, railbird-pulling pots that characterised the action earlier last week.

MarketPulse gives the following update on the Dwan Challenge numbers:

* Total amount wagered in the challenge so far: $178 255 830
* Amount durrrr is behind at present: $39 287
* Total hands played so far: 23 197
* Percentage of challenge completed: 46 percent
