Lately, action has been extremely scarce at the durrrr Challenge tables on Full Tilt Poker, but that changed on Thursday morning when Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonius decided to play for the first time in nearly a month. After their last session, Patrik retained his lead, albeit by the smallest of margins – a mere $34K. There was no maintaining anything for Antonius on this day though, as durrrr grabbed the lead back after a monster sesh.
About 20 minutes into the clash, durrrr and Antonius simultaneously traded blows in two huge pots. The end result was a wash, but less than 5 minutes later durrrr dragged a big one and didn’t look back. After opening the button, Patrik flatted Dwan’s 3-bet and they took a 6-K-6 flop. Tom bet and Antonius called, and when a 7 turned, Antonius decided to jam over top of durrrr’s lead and the two players tabled their hands. Patrik’s K-7-8-2 was well behind durrrr’s A-6-J-Q, and when the river brought a 2, Dwan scooped a $100K pot.
Antonius was able to chip away at Dwan’s lead, and just when it looked like he might draw even, durrrr won the biggest pot of the night and cemented his lead for the time being. Patrik once again flatted Dwan’s 3-bet after opening the button, and the two players saw the flop come down 7-A-9. Both men clearly hammered the board as after Dwan check-raised, Patrik made a pot-committing re-raise and they quickly got it all-in. Antonius showed 9-9-3-2 for middle set, but he was in horrible shape when durrrr tabled A-A-J-8 for top set. When the board ran 5-5, durrrr’s mega-cooler had won him a $240K pot. Just shy of playing for an hour and a half, the two called it quits, with durrrr in the Challenge lead by $235,453.
