Even though Tom “durrrr” Dwan resumed his battle in the Durrrr Challenge with Dan “jungleman12” Cates late last week, the real fireworks over the past seven days for the 24-year-old were at $500-$1,000 pot-limit Omaha against cadillac1944.
Dwan and cadillac1944 sat down at the virtual felt Tuesday on Full Tilt Poker for some action at the highest stakes offered in the discipline. Play at the $500-$1,000 level has been almost completely absent for the last couple months.
The largest confronation started when cadillac1944 had the button and raised to $3,000. Dwan three-bet to $9,000 from the big blind, and cadillac1944 called. The flop came 10
8 2
, and Dwan bet $13,000. Cadillac1944 raised to $57,000. Dwan bumped it up to $189,000, and cadillac1944 made it $378,000. Dwan called all in for just under $250,000 total.
Both players were draw heavy, as Dwan exposed the 9 5 7
6, and cadillac1944 tabled the A K 6 9. According to Card Player’s Omaha Odds Calculator, cadillac1944 wins about 60 percent of the time after the flop.
Both players elected to run it twice, and cadillac1944’s hand was the winner after each river card. Cadillac1944 scooped the massive pot worth more than $550,000.
Combined with losing a couple other pots exceeding half-a-million dollars, Dwan ended up in the red nearly $750,000 to cadillac1944 over the course of the lengthy session. Dwan also dropped about $200,000 in other matches yesterday to finish the day stuck nearly $1 million.
Another one of the biggest downswings in the online world over the past seven days has been from David Benefield. The cash game pro is down about $600,000 after doing battle with Patrik Antonius at $500-$1,000 pot-limit Omaha recently.
With the recent matches at the highest nosebleed stakes offered in pot-limit Omaha, action in the high-stakes online world seems to be finally picking up after an extended run of weeks with few pots exceeding six-figures.
