Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonius have started their epic battle on Full Tilt. They have 4 200/400 tables set up for them. As I have previously stated they are playing 50,000 hands. If Durr wins Patrik owes him 500k and if Durrrr loses he owes 1.5 million. This is of course on top of what you win and lose in the match.
So far they have played about 4,000 hands and Dwan is up $150k. However this all seems to be taking a backseat to other big games online. Yesterday Durrrr played Phil Ivey Heads up at the $500/$1000 Pot Limit Omaha Table. Ivey nearly won $1 MILLION in this session alone. Counting Durrrs other loses yesterday he nearly got 1.3 million down. These are tournament chips folks this is real money.
By far this is the biggest cash game ever witnessed by the general public. Its like having GSN's high stakes poker on your computer every night. It has got me wondering whether one of the PokerStars pros will challenge Durrr. All 3 players so far wear the red and black of Full Tilt. This challenge also seems to be capturing the imagination of the poker public. you would think that PokerStars would consider backing someone to play Dwan. I know Barry Greenstein has already said he would be drawing dead againt Durrr.
