They're Baaaack - Dwan Poker Challenge Resumes

After a three month hiatus, Antonius and Dwan resume the action

It's been a long three months - with the World Series of Poker, online high stakes action and a slew of other tourneys in between - since Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonius clashed in the Dwan million dollar 50 000 hand Challenge, but this week the two aces were at it again.

Over the weekend the duo hit the four $200/$400 Pot-Limit Omaha challenge tables on Full Tilt Poker.com for close to an hour, playing their way through around 280 hands.

This time around it was Antonius who emerged victorious, booking a $244 599 win over his opponent, who has generally had the better of the Finn in the last few encounters.

Dwan remains in the overall lead by $1.6 million with the total hands played now at 39,254 according to independent score-keeper MarketPulse

Other relevant stats in the struggle include:

* Total amount wagered thus far: $340 million.

* Total amount won by Dwan: $1 599 758.00

* Number of hands remaining in the Challenge: 10 746

* Total time played in the Challenge so far: 5 days, 5 hours, 22 minutes.
