durrrr ends march with a dominant lead
durrrr-antoniusThe durrrr Challenge
between Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Antonius (pictured right) saw some action in March, but due to both
players paying more attention to the games at the other tables, they
managed to climb to the top 10 of the winners list.

Dwan survived the perils of Mixed HA and PLO HU, where millions flew
from one side of the table to the other on daily basis, eventually ending March with
a  $1,595,706.07 profit across 25,761 hands in 351 sessions.

The following two spots went to luckexpress10 and Patrik
Antonius, both earning slightly over $1 million. Antonius played 20,340
hands in 327 sessions, which was enough to put him one spot ahead of
the Great Dane, Gus Hansen.

Phil IveyHansen was again one of the most active players of the month, playing 33,462 hands
across 567 sessions. He ended March just below $1 million mark, with
most of his profit coming from PLO.

Another player who did well in PLO was Phil Ivey (pictured left), as he ended March on
top of the winners chart there, but in overall ended the month just
below Hansen with a $977,795.63 profit.

ziigmund's money burns away
ZiigmundThe loser of the month title goes to Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies (pictured right). He went down in a devilish manner, losing $1,666,799.77 across 17,063 hands in 354 sessions.

as he recorded a $1,593,195.11 loss for March. He had already lost
nearly $1 million in January, then bounced up by almost half a million
profit in February and now with March going against him, Urindanger is
probably not enjoying 2009 much.

LarsLuzak recorded a modest loss compared to the top two losers of the
month, going down by $607,896.50 across 24,639 hands in 417 sessions.
Another notable name on the losers list is trex313. He was on top of
the February rankings, but now found himself at the bottom, amongst the top 10 losers.
