Dwan Down $758k on the Week

When you’re Tom “durrrr” Dwan one week can make the difference of being up a million or down a million.

Last week the swingy Dwan essentially demolished his competition on his way to a $969k score.

This week it was the opposite for Dwan, who played over 7,400 hands in everything from Six-Max $200/$400 PLO to $2,000/$4,000 Limit Hold'em, and ended up posting a stunning loss of $758k.

Despite his troubles, Dwan is still up $3.9 million in 2010 although last week it looked like he could potentially crack the $5 million mark.

Dwan wasn't the only notable player to lose a giant stack of cash this week.

Veteran cash game player David Oppenheim did not have a good week at the virtual tables losing $603,727 in just over 2,000 hands.

Gus Hansen's troubles also continued as he dropped $432,973 bringing his total losses for the year up to $1.2 million.

Of course all that money had to go somewhere and Scott "URnotINdanger2" Palmer, Patrik Antonius and Jani Vilmunen were all too happy to vacuum it up.

URnotINdanger2 was the week's biggest winner as he claimed $562,354, making it his second best week of online poker ever.

Antonius, who almost seems to be avoiding the durrrr Challenge at this point, won $525,014 in just 1,605 hands while fellow Finn Jani Vilmunen won $286,468.

    Why would Antonius want to play Durrrr anymore? He owes Durrrr close to two million right now. If the challenge were never to end he wouldn't have to pay so why play? He's in no rush to finish it. That's what's wrong with the Challenge it has no time limit so essentually it may never end. At first it was really great entertainment watching them play. But now its just a countdown to see how much P.A. is going to owe Durrrr.
