Dwan, Antonius Play 20th Session Of Durrrr Challenge
Wednesday’s resumption of play was a short session of $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha consisting of only 693 hands, but Antonius managed to book a win worth $33,000. That extends the Finn’s total lead in the challenge to $424,631, but the two have only played 14,249 hands so far, leaving them more than 35,000 short of the declared ending point of the challenge.
The biggest pot in the 20th session came courtesy of two pair over two pair. Antonius had flopped jacks and nines on a J-9-4 board with A-J-9-7 and managed to get a check-raise in. Dwan called with K-J-T-4 for top and bottom pair, but when a king came on the turn he improved to top two pair. With $50,000 already in the pot, Dwan managed to get his remaining $51,000 in and hold up through the river to take down a pot worth $153,225.
Unfortunately for Dwan, Antonius dragged several pots worth nearly as much. His largest, worth $147,000, came when he caught the nut flush on the river and got Dwan to call an all-in check-raise worth $64,000. The second largest pot for Antonius came courtesy of an Omaha action board; durrrr had flopped top two pair with A-K-Q-9 on the A-K-T flop, but the Finn made broadway on the same board. Antonius smooth-called Dwan’s $3,800 bet on the flop before getting him to three-bet all-in, and the straight held up through the river for a pot worth $140,000.
With the start of the World Series of Poker right around the corner it’s questionable whether Antonius and Dwan will make any more real progress with the Challenge in the near future, but if they do we’ll have updates for you here at BLUFF.
