Antonius picks up Durrr gauntlet

2009-01-08 11:59:25

A second professional poker player has announced that he has accepted the heads-up challenge laid down by internet superstar Tom 'Durrr' Dwan.

Patrik Antonius, a European Poker Tour titlist and an online high stakes legend, told Card Player magazine he is willing to take on Durrr in the match because of the 3/1 return he stands to make on his $500,000 stake should he be victorious.

"It sounded too good to be true," he remarked. "I tried to figure out what would be the trap there and I still haven't really figured it out."

Earlier this week, Phil Ivey told PokerRoad that he had accepted the challenge and Antonius expects that the five-time World Series of Poker bracelet holder will be the first to play Dwan.

Antonius suggested that they both have a good chance of beating the youngster, although it could take several months before his 50,000-hand match comes to a conclusion due to his busy schedule.
