Durrrr blows past $2m mark, heads for $3m

durrrr: still so hot right now.

By Christopher Hunt

When it rains it pours, it seems, for Tom "durrrr" Dwan.

His epic October Hold'em heater carried on unabated yesterday anyway, with several more big pots pushed his way and another $600k in profit.

And just like that, as soon as we reported he was heading past $2 million in online Hold'em profit so far this month, he turned the run-good tap on again and pushed his monthly Hold'em earnings up to $2.6 million.

Just how dominant has Dwan been at $500/$1,000 NLHE in October? The next highest earner so far this month is Hac "trex313" Dang, who's taken in $633,251 - over $2 million less than Dwan.

The biggest donator to the durrrr fund yesterday seemed to be Patrik Antonius, who apparently didn't have the cards he needed in a couple of big pots - in particular the one below, the biggest online so far today, where a river check-shove forced him to lay his hand down and watch Dwan rake in the almost $300k pot.
