Another 786 hands. Another USD 7 million wagered. Six more pots over USD 100k.And ultimately almost right back to square one in the durrrr Challenge as Tom Dwan surged back near even Wednesday night, winning over USD 376k and cutting Patrik Antonius' lead after 16k hands to just USD 34,594.
The fans of Patrik Antonius will claim the last session was unfortunate or was an unlucky streak. Tom Dwan fans will describe it as inevitable.
With each session laden with massive pots, it was only a matter of time until another quarter-million-plus profit made the books.
Dwan's profit in this session came mostly from winning all five of the largest pots of the night, worth well over USD 100k.
The largest pot saw the money go all in on the turn, with Antonius's turned flush versus Dwan's flopped set of jacks.
The river paired the board, giving Dwan a full house and the USD 230k pot along with it.
After a night as big as this, and given Dwan's propensity for busting out early at the WSOP these days, it wouldn't be surprising to see some more Challenge action go down tonight.
