Online Casino Transfer: News - Challenge Catch-Up

08/16/2010		Online Casino Style: News Challenge Catch-Up
Home History Games News Dictionary		Though the online gambling world may have missed them desperately in the time they’ve been away, the time for waiting is finally over this week as Patrik Antonius and Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan reconvene their online poker challenges this week by adding another session to the continuous Million Dollar Challenge. The Challenge, being played out and partially hosted by the internet gambling website Full Tilt Poker, has been going on for well over a year, a long term challenge between the two professional poker pros to determine who is the best in the long run. Dwan, known for his cocky attitude and boastful nature, was the one to initiate the challenge to the whole of the internet gambling community more than a year ago, daring any other poker player to take him on for 50,000 hands of online poker at Full Tilt. Antonius accepted the challenge, and the two have been playing ever since, albeit in spurts. The first few months saw a lot of action, but with the game drawing on and on, and constantly interrupted by more important tournaments such as the World Series of Poker, what was expected to take a few dedicated months has drawn on for much longer than originally anticipated. It has been three months since Antonius and Dwan met up at the internet gambling website for some action, though both players were frequent entrants at this year’s WSOP in Las Vegas. The pair met up at four of the $200 / $400 Pot Limit Omaha tables on Full Tilt, playing for just an hour, and adding a meager 280 hands to their overall tally. Changing up the trend in their game, Antonius managed to hold onto the advantage for the game, though Dwan still holds a very strong lead over his opponent. Antonius managed to win back $244,599 from Dwan in the hour, leaving him still with a strong $1.6 million lead. The total number of hands played in the Million Dollar Challenge is now up to 39,254, according to Market Pulse, which has tracked all of the game’s statistics. Since it’s beginning, more than $340 million has been bet back and forth, with 10,746 of the hands left to be played.
