With a flurry of action this week, Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonius seem set on actually finishing the Challenge, which is something that didn’t seem likely just a month ago.
It’s no secret that durrrr is having an outstanding year and the Challenge is no exception. After play on Friday – the third day of the week the two titans did battle – durrrr still holds a $1,844,430 lead over Patrik Antonius with 11,026 hands remaining.
This most recent clash saw Antonius trim Dwan’s edge ever so slightly, but in the grand scheme of things durrrr remains the favorite by a wide margin.
