An Update on Dwan

Dwan’s Million Dollar Challenge has made headlines for the past nearly year as the Dwan and his opponent play hundreds upon hundreds of poker hands and get closer and closer to their goal. The Challenge was incredibly unique and the first of its kind in the online casino poker gambling industry. Basically, Dwan challenged any player in the world to put up $500,000 onto the poker table and then play Dwan for a set number of hands – the opponent can take home a cool million dollars if they win the poker play, but Dwan gets to keep the $500,000 if he wins the game. There was a lot of buzz in the industry when Dwan laid down the challenge and Patrik Antonius could not resist the opportunity to compete against Dwan at the Full Tilt online casino poker tables for such a huge prize.

The competition has been running for quite some time now and is about 70 percent complete with more than 900 hands of poker already played. Although Antonius’ game play was solid at first, and the Finnish online casino poker player is incredibly talented, Dwan began to strongly pull ahead of Antonius a fee months ago. At present, Dwan leads in the game by $1.3 million – no small sum!

All of the online casino poker action has been happening at Full Tilt Poker over the past several months and the poker site has done well to help Dwan and Antonius arrange their poker games. The statistics of the game are startling – nearly $270,000,000 has been wagered on the game so far between the two players and that figure is spread across the nearly 33,000 hands they have played. The game is $200/$400 Pot-Limit Omaha and the online poker industry is intrigued as the game winds down to see just who is going to take home the money.
