Nosebleed regulars Scott ‘URnotINdanger2′ Palmer and Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan played out a lengthy session of $300/$600 No limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Hold’em over the weekend on the virtual felt.
Palmer eventually posted an upswing of almost $250,000 after dominating the big hands during the latter stages of the face off.
Dwan had been on course for a small profit after 1,500 hands of the 3,000 hand session but the 21 year old Maryland native won several pots in excess of $200,000 to end victorious.
Palmer took down the biggest pot, worth $224,481, after spiking an Ace on the turn to complete top pair.
Dwan initially raised to $1,800 from the button with Kc-Jc hole cards. Palmer three bet to $5,400 with As-Qs. Tom Dwan completed.
Palmer led out for $6,000 after a 9s-9c-4s flop. Dwan re-raised to $16,800 and ‘URnotINdanger2′ called.
Palmer checked on the turn after pairing up. Dwan bet $23,600 and Palmer completed.
Palmer checked for a second time as a 2c hit the felt on the river. Dwan jammed all in for $66,000 and Palmer called the 24 year old from New Jersey down.
Palmer flipped over top pair to snare the huge pot as Dwan was left to rue a failed bluff bet on the river.
Scott ‘URnotINdanger2′ Palmer ended the week as the biggest online winner with an overall upswing of ($342,634). Di ‘Urindanger’ Dang (+$256,171) and Jared ‘harrington25′ Bleznick (+$95,650) rounded out the top three.
Dwan (-$318,302) is currently the third biggest loser of the year to date. Only ‘Kpederson’ (-$497,184) and ‘cadillac1944′ (-$478,669) have dropped more money this month.
