Durrr vs. Antonius update

These two poker powerhouses have now played a total of 7,087 hands (head's up/one-on-one) and Patrik Antonius is up a mere $23,467.

The action has been considerably slower than the poker community expected and because of that this epic challenge has lost a lot of it's luster. I'm wondering if they will even come close to finishing before the WSOP starts because we all know that the big game during the WSOP can kill someone's bankroll in one or two bad sessions (see Brian Townsend aka SBRugby).

Here are the results of their last session:

Session 10:
Table 1) TD -$6,815.00 PA +$6,790.00 109 hands
Table 2) TD +$43,038.50 PA -$43,063.50 113 hands
Table 3) TD -$120,353.50 PA +$120,329.00 109 hands
Table 4) TD -$7,989.00 PA +$7,966.00 129 hands
82 minutes 460 hands
TD -$92,119.00 PA +$92,021.50

Total to date:
TD -$24,956.00 PA +$23,467.50 22h3m 7,087 hands

Poker After Dark: 'Nets vs. Vets' Week

I have to admit I wish they had taken the live pros that are considered the best of the best these days (i.e. Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius) but then it would have a different feel as they play each other online anyways.

This should be good viewing to at least see if the styles of play are vastly different between the online players and the live pros.

My money is on Huck Seed, then Johnny Chan.

The show airs at 2:05 a.m. on NBC during the weekdays and a recap on Saturday at night at 1:00 a.m.

You can also catch the previous day's episodes at here.

Here's the full story.
