durrrr rakes epic $594k pot from ziigmund

ziigmund: $1 million is nothing in these games.

Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Ilari "ziigmund" Sahamies played the biggest heads-up session of the year last night, and durrrr walked away with one of the biggest pots in online poker history.

Some are already calling it one of the sickest heads-up sessions in the history of online poker.

Although that assessment may seem a bit premature, durrrr certainly enjoyed the match.

When all was said and done, Dwan had demolished the aggressive Finn to the tune of a cool million. It's safe to say that durrrr is gaining momentum.

At the beginning of the week he was rumored to be down close to $4 million, but it's looking more and more likely that he's reduced his losses to about $2.5 million as of yesterday.

The biggest pot of the session (and the year) came when ziigmund flopped a straight only to have durrrr river a boat. ziggy and durrrr got it all-in on the river to make the pot worth $594,000.

ziigmund could only watch as the monster pot quickly shifted into Dwan's stack after the hole cards were revealed.

While $594,000 is good enough for the biggest pot of 2009, it came short of the $723,000 pot that was raked by Di "Urindanger" Dang late last year.

The bar has been set. Will anybody be able to top Dwan's $594,000 pot in 2009? Stay tuned ...
