Durrrr Challenge
Two days ago, the seventh of October, one edition more of the Durrrr Challenge, confronting the two well known poker players Patrick Antonious and Tom Dwan, took place. The famous challenge will not be over until both players had played 50.000 hands, but so far, only half of them have been disputed.
After 25.145 hands played, Tom has managed to surpass his rival, having accumulated $697.532 more than him. However, there are still 25.145 hands left to play, so nothing is decided yet and there is more game to come.
We are all looking forward to the next edition of the challenge, where Patrick will try to shorten the distance between him and his rival! Why not to play a bit of online poker while we wait?
