Patrik Antonius ($59,843) played against Resoh ($259,866) at the Harlin (heads up) table at FullTiltPoker.net. The limits at the poker table were $1000/$2000.

Since the game was limit hold-em the hands were noticeable smaller then other games I have written about in the past. But the average hand at the table was higher then a lot of games that I have watched at $10k. There were a lot of hands in the $13k range and not very many under $5k.

One of those hands had Resoh betting $2k which Patrik Antonius called pre-flop. The flop came down [Jd 3h 4d] and both players checked. The turn was a [7d] and Antonius bet $2k which was then raised to $4k and again Antonius raised it to $6k which Resoh called. The river card was a [3s] and Patrik Antonius checked while Resoh bet $2k which Antonius called. On the showdown Resoh showed [Kc Ks] and Antonius mucked his hand and Resoh took the pot worth $19,999.50.
After watching for about 75 hands the chip counts were:

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.

Full Tilt Poker Durrrr Challenge

The first hand I saw at the durrrr challenge 2 table was worth $103,999. I was able to see durrrr call a bet of $30,8000 by Patrik Antonius and win the pot with a flush king high against Patrik Antonius queen high flush.

Here is an interesting conversation that they had mid game. There was a $500/$1000 HA game being played by Gus Hansen and others.

Patrik Antonius ($138,693) played heads up against durrrr ($81,294) at the Hansen Blendor. Gus Hansen wasn’t sitting at the table where he has a seat reserved. The blinds at the table were $500/$1000 and they played HA.

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:

The game wasn’t long as Patrik Antonius took a couple large pots in about 10 hands winning: $44k, $25k and a $40k hand. At this time David Oppenheim sat out.

The $44k hand was a good one, after 4th street Patrik Antonius bet $2k and was then raised to $4k. On 5th street Patrik Antonius bet $4k which was again called by David Oppenheim. On 6th street same bet and finally on seventh street Patrik Antonius throws out another $4k bet and this time was raised to $8k by David Oppenheim which he called.

Happy Holidays, I haven’t been posting much because of the holidays but now that they are winding down, I will be back on the computer posting as often as possible (I try to get a couple high stakes reports every week).

This was a good table to watch as the blinds were big and the players are the table weren’t afraid to move their chips. When I first started watching a hand was already in progress and when it was finished durrrr took down a pot worth $185,792 against Ziigmund who mucked after seeing a pair of aces in durrrr’s hand.

The largest hand at the table was a monster with Patrik Antonius and Durrrr playing heads up. Antonius raised to $3500 and Durrrr re-raised to $11,000 which Antonius called. The flop came [Td 8h Jd] and Durrrr bet $16,300 who then saw a re-raise from Antonius to $71,400….after taking some time Durrrr then raised again to $236,700, Antonius thought for a bit and went all-in making Durrrr call an additional $35,926.50. At this point they both showed their hands Patrik Antonius had [8d Qd Ts 6d]
while durrrr showed [Kh Ks Ad 3d]. The turn came 7h and the river was a 6d. Durrr didn’t improve his pocket kings and Patrik Antonius took down the monster pot with two pair and won $567,750.

Even after losing that hand Durrrr still had over a million dollars on the table. After watching for about 50 hands the chip counts were:

The largest hand that I saw was between Patrik Antonius and durrrr. Antonius raised to $1200 which durrrr called after the hole cards were dealt. The flop came [Td 6h 2s] and durrrr bet $1,750 while Antonius raised to $7,650 which durrrr called. The turn was a 5h and Patrik Antnoius bet $14,400 and durrrr came right back over the top making it $60,900….after waiting a bit Patrik went all-in with his last $35,738. The showed their cards and durrrr had [8s 4d Ad 3h] while Patrik Antonius showed [9s 6c 8d Tc]. The river was a 7c and Patrik Antonius won with a ten high straight taking down the pot worth $117,975.50.

Another large hand (but only half the size of the last pot) was played between Gus Hansen and Trex313. Before the flop Gus Hansen raised to $5,600 which both trex313 and Ziigmund called. The flop of [3h Ad 9h] and Gus Hansen threw out another bet of $16,800 and this time Ziigmund folded while trex313 raised all-in with $31,198 and Gus Hansen called with the last of his chips which was $1,713. The turn and river were 7s and Qc and Gus Hansen ended up winning the hand with trip aces after flopping the hand. For his effort Gus Hansen took down the pot worth $53,826.

Gus Hansen ($68,599), David Benyamine ($65,896.25) and Patrik Antonius ($115,495.25) played at the Patrik Antonius $2000/$4000 table at Full Tilt.com.

After watching the table for 2 hands (I started watching well into the match) David Oppenheim sat down with $50k. It was interesting though when David Oppenheim sat down, Gus Hansen sat out, just watching the action… I don’t know if there is past history or it was just by coincidence that he sat out at the same time as Oppenheim playing at the poker table.

One of the larger hands at the table was between Patrik Antonius, David Benyamine and David Oppenheim. After the hole cards Patrik raised to $4k which was called by both David’s. The flop of [Kd Jh Ah] was dealt and Benyamine and Oppenheim checked while Patrik bet $2k which was called by Benyamine and then raised by Oppenheim. Both Patrik and Benaymine called thebet. The turn was a [8c] and Benaymine checked while Oppenheim bet $4k and at this time Patrik gave up and folded while Benyamine raised another $4k which was called. The river was another 8 this time of diamonds. Benyamine bet $4k which was called by Oppenheim, on the showdown David Benyamine shows 8s, kh for a full house and won the pot worth $47,999.

Well like clock work when Oppenheim ($16k) left the table Gus Hansen sat back in. It looks like Gus Hansen didn’t want to play against Oppenheim. Gus Hansen soon after sitting down won a large hand against Benyamine. David raised to $4k on the flop which was called by Gus. The flop of [Js Tc Kc] came down and Gus Hansen checked while Benyamine threw out $2k which was called. The turn of another king this time hearts came down and again Hansen checked Benaymine bet $4k which was then raised to $8k by Hansen. The river card was a 7 of clubs and Gus Hansen didn’t check this time, betting $4k. David Benyamine then doubled the bet to $8k which Gus Hansen decided to go another $4k to $12k which Benyamine called. Gus Hansen then showed a full house kings full of jacks and Benyamine mucked his hand.

At the end of watching about 50 hands the chip counts looked like:

• Patrik Antonius ($125,691.75)
• David Benyamine ($43,688.25)
• Gus Hansen ($114,694.50)

David Benyamine, Patrik Antonius and Nuts78 played $2000/$4000 Horse at Full Tilt Poker.net. They played at the Patrik Antonius table and that is 6 max. Also at the table but sitting out was world1969.

While watching this game the stakes are so high it is almost hard to imagine they are playing with real money. I keep thinking of that hand was only $25k….that’s nothing. But then I snap back to reality and think…damn this is ridiculous $25k is a crazy amount of money. The hand average at the table is $16k! But it makes for a great poker game and everyone likes high limit poker and when Benyamine and Antonius are sitting at a table that is guaranteed.

One of the larger hands at the table (well they are all large) was between frog22 and Patrik Antonius playing Limit Stud Hi. Everytime frog22 would bet Patrik Antonius would raise and at any chance Antonius could get he was betting. The showdown was a quick one with Partik Antonius showing [7s 5d 7c 2s As 2c 2d] had a full house, Twos full of Sevens. This one pot he won $49,499!

Then a couple hands later Patrik and frog22 go at it again while playing Limit Stud Hi. Similar to last time Patrik is raising after every card and frog22 is just calling. This changed on 6th street when Patrik again threw out a bet of $4k but this time frog22 raisied it to $8k while Antonius raises again to $12k and not done yet frog22 makes it $16k. 7th street Patrik raises to $4k and again was raised by frog22 for an additional $4k but this doesn’t stop Antonius who raised it again making it $12k to see his cards which frog22 calls. Patrik Antonius then showed [Kh Kd Jh 7s 6s Kc Jc] and had another full house, Kings full of Jacks and frog22 mucks. Patrik then rakes in the pot worth $72,899. Nice!

In the end the chip counts looked like:

• Patrik Antonius ($162,908.75)
• Nuts78 ($144,594.75)
• world1969 ($100,000), is sitting out
• frog22 ($106,195), is sitting out
