    Hey damworld3,

    Excellent points. There were indeed two flush draws.

    My understanding is that when the players get 275BB deep(not $ as was previously mentioned) they are allowed to change tables.

    I've since changed both.

    Absolutely class!

    Couldnt wait for this to start, ill be watching the next time they sit down to play.

    PS - How is that lucky in any way?!? The top 2 hands shown here he had the best of it all the way, the 3rd - Heads up, re-raising all in with a double flush draw and 2 pair on the turn....

    textbook. Good work Durrrr, keep going and ruin him!

    How is he just lucky. He fluked his way into becoming one of the best online players and flukes his way up against Patrik Antonius, a poker pro. Dude this is heads up, and to be honset he's not quite doing a Gus Hansen yet.

    The action he got on that first set is pretty sick. I'm excited to see what kind of swings these two players take.

    Durrrrr is just lucky. These three hands prove it. He is on the luckiest streak EVER!
