The pace of the Challenge seems to have quickened in spite of the WSOP. While many suspected the slow pace of the Challenge would grind to a halt during this busy time of the poker year, durrrr and Patrik keep finding time for the Challenge. Part of this renewed dedication to Challenge play can likely be contributed to Antonius’ back problems his wife Maya Gellar mentioned at the start of the WSOP. The guys were at it once again today and played a nearly four hour session from 7PM ET until nearly 10:30PM or so.

Antonius jumped out to a $250K lead early in this session, but durrrr made quite a comeback and came within $30K of pulling even with his opponent on the day. It is worth noting that he also made this comeback while playing Gus Hansen at three other heads-up PLO tables concurrently with his Challenge ones. He then dropped back down $200K for a good hour or so before going on a tremendous rush in the final hour to end the day up a whopping $370,037.50!

Nearly every big pot in the last hour went durrrr‘s way and this lengthy 910 hand session clearly indicates the Challenge momentum has swung in durrrr‘s direction. We’ll see if he can continue the rush as we near closer to the halfway point.

Here are some of the big hands we’ve seen so far, including a rare four of a kind for Patrik and a $200K pot that helped propel durrrr back into the black:
