This past weekend, nosebleed regulars Scott “URnotINdanger2” Palmer and Tom “durrrr” Dwan put in a lengthy 3,000-hand session, lasting more than seven hours. The duo played a mixture of pot-limit and no-limit at stakes of $300-$600 on Full Tilt Poker, and when it was all over, Palmer was in the black nearly $250,000.
The duel went back and forth for awhile, until Palmer pulled ahead late in the match. The cash game pro won several pots worth more than $200,000 against the member of Team Full Tilt, en route to dominating the pot-limit segments of their match.
Dwan had started 2011 with a win of more than $100,000 against Jared “harrington25” Bleznick late last week, but hit a snag when he sat down at the virtual felt to face Palmer over the weekend.
