After a delay that appeared to signal the end of the Challenge Dwan has hooked back up with Patrick Antonius to continue the Challenge. He was already up over $700k+ before both players took a lengthy break from the Challenge. The break occurred in part because Dwan lost $5 million dollars to Isildur1. At that time Dwans bankroll was estimated at around $3 million dollars. Again, those were estimates and only Dwan knows what kind of swings he can and can’t handle.

Obviously losing a fortune like he did will severely affect what kind of games you intend to play from that point on. Rumblings suggest that Dwan is in over his head bankroll wise and needs to drop down a few levels to re-establish himself. Losing $5 million to anyone playing online poker would certainly indicate a major problem in money management even if it’s over several sessions. Hopefully Dwan puts away a few million for his future before it’s too late.
