Tom 'durrr' Dwan and Patrik Antonius got it together for another session in their 50,000 hand million dollar poker challenge this week after delays caused by over-full calendars and movements around the globe.

The two poker aces mixed it up over another nine hundred hands and three hours, bringing the total played so far to a mere 10% of the total agreed, with Antonius closing the gap overall but Dwan still ahead in earnings by more than $50,000.

The rules require that the two play over 4 tables in the challenge, and this was accomplished with ease - in fact Dwan showed his remarkable abilty to multi-task by playing in outside games on an additional 5 PLO tables at one stage.

The independent online poker statistical site MarketPulse summarised the Dwan challenge as 5,092 hands played thus far, leaving 44,908 still to be contested; a total of almost 16 hours of play recorded thus far between Antonius and Dwan; six sessions played to date and $28.6 million wagered and placed at risk.
