The first week of the Tom “Durrrr” Dwan challenge has come to an end. After some big swings Dwan finds himself up nearly $150,000 (or slightly under 4 buy-ins) on Patrik Antonius. The swings have been huge, as are the stakes. In the end one of these two players will walk away the victor and either $500,000 or $1,500,000 richer.

So far Antonius has been running quite well in some Pre-Flop all-ins while Dwan has been running even better in the biggest pots. The two largest pots, both over $164,000, have gone to Dwan. In the first of the two big pots Dwan’s overpair+flush draw out ran a flopped set from Antonius in a 4bet pot. In the other pot Antonius ran a huge bluff over 200bb deep only to run into Dwan’s flopped (and slowplayed) nut-straight.

Early on things went quite well for Durrrr as he was up nearly $200,000 approximately 1500 hands in. However, Antonius would mount a huge comeback a few day later, winning nearly $300,000 in a 1500 hand session. Unfortunately for Antonius the third and final session of the week went Dwan’s way, as Durrrr won over $200,000, leaving him nearly 4 buy-ins ahead. The match has lasted 12.5 hours with nearly 4,000 hands being played.
