The match that people have waited for a long long time started slow and both players played tight early. Not many showdowns were seen as most of the hands resolved before river.

Dwan won first leg of the match after a shaky start.

Antonius started the match well, as he was up over $100k in the middle point of the match, but after couple big hands Dwan turned the tables completely.

Dwan won the biggest hand of the session when he flopped a top set and dodged the straight draw of Antonius.

The match ended when Dwan asked for a little break and Antonius suddenly left the tables saying that he got to go. Dwan now leads the match after first session as he is up about $135k after 1.5k hands. However, it is just about 3½ buy-ins so it is about even game still.

Antonius and Dwan didn’t make any agreement about when they are going to play next session of the match so people have just wait and watch out the tables at Full Tilt Poker.
