At this point many know of the Durrrr Challenge. It is a challenge made by Tom Dwan (durrrr) who has challenged the online poker world putting up $1.5 million dollars for whoever beats him in 50,000 hands (4 tables simultaneously) . If he wins then the loser pays $500k if he loses he has to pay the full $1.5 million giving players 3 to 1.

The challenge has been accepted by Patrik Antonius, David Benyamine and Phil Ivey. Patrik Antonius is first up and they will be playing 4 tables of Pot Limit Omaha Hi. FullTiltPoker.net has opened up special durrrr challenge tables that are heads up and are $200/$400.

At the start of today they had played for 9 hours and 29 minutes. Patrik Antonius was in the lead with $56,177.60 after 2,925 hands. This lead is not very large and at any point this could change.

This report is on the Ivey Mix table mainly because I was watching both but reporting on a $253k hand was to much to pass up. The hand was Pot Limit Hold-em and Phil Ivey raised to $3k which durrrr called. The flop was [Td 3s 4s] and durrrr checked while Phil Ivey bet $4k which durrrr then raised to $13,300 which Ivey called. The turn was a [Ts] and after a bit of thinking durrrr bet $23,600 which Ivey then raised to $74,000 which didn’t take long before durrrr raised all-in….which cost Phil Ivey an additional $36,385.50 to call as he went all-in (and was the smaller stack). At this time durrrr showed [Tc Ac] while Phil Ivey had the flush with [8s Js]. The river was a [Qh] not improving either hand and Phil Ivey took down the monster pot worth $253,370.50.

A few hands later they had another large hand with Ivey raising to $3k pre-flop and durrrr re-raising to $9k which Phil Ivey called. The flop was [Js Th 8h] and durrrr bet $11.4k which Ivey called.

The flop of [2h 9s 8s] came down and Phil Ivey bet $14k and extacymoney raised to $60k which after taking some time Phil Ivey called. The turn was a [Qh] and extacymoney went all-in for his last bit of money ($957.50) and Phil Ivey quickily called. They both show and extacymoney had [9c 5s 9h 5d] while Phil Ivey showed [3d 4d Ad As]. The river of [Jd] didn’t help Ivey and extacymoney won the hand with three of a kind nines and took down the pot worth $139,913.

Usually there are only 5-6 players max at the table but I guess everyone was feeling like some poker action as the table was filled with 1 on the wait list. Later ziigmund sat down after OnTheRize who was sitting out left the table

It is always interesting when you have a full table because players play tighter (obviously) and their are a lot less hands per hour. The pots though were pretty high with the average at $24k.

The largest hand at the table was between Howard Lederer and Ziigmund. Ziigmund raised to $4,500 after the hole cards and everyone else folded but Lederer. On the flop of [Qc 6d Kd], Lederer checked while Ziigmund bet $10,500. After a little time Lederer raised to $35k which didn’t take long before Ziigmund pushed his stack all-in adding another $64,997 to call….which Lederer eventually did after taking almost all the time he had. The cards where then exposed and Ziigmund had [4d 7s Ks Kc] while Howard Lederer showed [Js Qh Kh Ad]. The turn was a 3s and the river a Ah…not improving Lederer’s hand enough to beat the three of a kind kings of Ziigmund. Ziigmund then raked in the pot worth $214,491.

Phil Ivey left with $98,500.

I watched for about 15 more hands…the chip counts were:Seat 1:

There were some large pots while I was watching the poker game. One had Patrik Antonius raising to $3,000 and then getting re-raised to $9,000 didn’t take long before another re-raise to $27.000 which durrrr called. With a flop of [4d Jh Ah] Patrik Antonius bet $32k which casued an immediate fold and Patrik Antonius won the pot worth $53,999.50.

A similar hand was played when durrrr raised to $3k was re-raised to $9k and then raised again to $27k which Patrik Antonius called. The flop of [7s 5d 5h] and Patrik was the first to act and checked and right away durrrr bet $39,793.50 pushing in all his chips, this was again a fast fold and durrrr raked in the pot worth $53,999.50 making the last hand large pot that Patrik Antonius won a wash.

After 46 hands Patrik Antonius sat out and the chip counts were:

Patrik Antonius ($134,089.75)
