And Patrik Antonius is gaining ground.

Finally, the two pros have resumed their marathon match after a fifteen-day break. Tom ”Durrr” Dwan and Patrik Antonius played $200-$400 pot-limit Omaha last Monday evening and ended up playing 914 hands in three hours.

Patrik Antonius who has been trailing Tom ”Durrr” Dwan for over $140,000 has narrowed the gap by winning $87,611 during the last match. However, it’s still anyone’s game as the two have only played 5,086 of the 50,000 required hands.

There have been a lot of speculations on why this marathon match is taking even longer than expected. Rumor has it that Dwan is reeling from a $3.5-million loss he suffered during poker games since the year has started.

Still, it doesn’t look like Dwan is quitting his own ”Durrr” Poker Challenge anytime soon as he is still leading Antonius by $53,640.

Three pots crossed the six-figure mark during the last match-up. Antonius won two of the big hands, and Dwan took down one of them. In the biggest hand of the evening, Dwan raised to $1,200 from the button and Antonius re-raised with $3,600. Dwan called and saw a Qs-Jd-7c flop. Antonius bet in with $5,400 getting a call from Dwan.

After the turn turned up a 4h, Antonius bet out $15,600. Dwan moved all in for his remaining $60,598 and was called by Antonius who had more chips. Antonius had Jh-Js-5s-5c giving him a set while Dwan only had top two pair with Qh-Jc-6c-6d. The Kh at the river didn’t help Dwan and Antonius raked in the pot which reached $138,796.

Although the two pros talked about resuming the match the next day, railbirds have yet to see Dwan and Antonius face off again. In the meantime, the two are still regularly seen on Full Tilt playing high-stakes tables.

Phil Ivey, who beat Dwan for over a million dollars in heads-up play some time back, is slated to play Dwan next after Patrik Antonius.
