Durrr Challenge Update: Session 21, 22 and 23It’s quite surprising that the durrrr challenge is getting action during the World Series of Poker as both players have been playing at Bobby’s Room in the Bellagio Casino and have been entering in events daily. However, since the challenge has only had 16,118 hands played since January, I guess these two should get some hands in any time they have some spare time, just to get it over with already.

Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan won two of the last three sessions and has made a massive comeback to put himself and Patrik Antonius virtually even in the Durrrr Challenge with 33,882 hands remaining. At one point Dwan found himself down just under $500,000 and the poker world was quick to jump on Antonius’s bandwagon saying that durrrr couldn’t come back from the deficit and would be forced to cough up the 1.5 million dollar prop bet. Although, Dwan has proven the critics wrong when in session 23, he stormed through and won $412,856 over the past 1,001 hands.
