Online Casino Transfer: News - Dwan Holds Lead in Challenge

05/09/2010		Online Casino Style: News Dwan Holds Lead in Challenge
Home History Games News Dictionary		For online casino poker players interested in the more-than-a-year old Million Dollar Challenge between pros Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan and Patrik Antonius, a rare update has become available as the pair move slowly but surely towards their end goal of 50,000 hands of internet poker completed. Though the ever-resilient Antonius managed to hold a good advantage for a healthy portion of their competition thus far, the haughty Dwan is holding on tight to his lead, providing rail birds with quite a show. The action is really heating up, which is rather a pleasing turn for the audiences, who had to endure months of silence through 2009. Many in the onlooking online gambling community seem to be of the opinion that the intent has now changed, as the two stars rev up their participation and add another six hours to the time spent at the Full Tilt internet casino poker tables. They played three days straight this past week, adding enough hands so that now the competition is 78 percent complete – with Dwan still in the lead. According to the online statistics tracker Market Pulse, $336,781,677 has now been bet on the Million Dollar Challenge. By the end of their third heads up this week, Dwan sat with a pretty advantage, ahead of Antonius by more than $1.5 million. The latest six hour session added $37,250 to his previous balance and added another 1,601 hands, bringing the grand total of the number of hands played to an impressive 38,250. It took the duo 129 hours to get to this point so far. At least a dozen of the pots from the last meet-up alone topped more than $200,000, showing just how high the stakes really are. Dwan seems to be completely at ease in the online casino, taking on not only Antonius, but Cole South simultaneously. Even splitting his attention, the aggressive, and sometimes obnoxious player, managed to win an additional $155,000 from South on $200 / $400 Pot Limit Omaha tables.
