After a short break, due to the Face-Off Challenge between Limitless and Fedor Holz and Stefan 11222’s move to Thailand, the heads-up challenge all railbirds have been waiting for finally continues.

Last week the arch-rivals played two sessions for a total of 2,600 hands. After getting completely destroyed in the first week by Stefan, Wiktor Malinowski managed to make up some ground by booking a decent $86,265 profit.

As you can see from the graph, the sessions took place between March 9 – 12. Wiktor ran pretty well as you can see from Burakov’s All-In Chip EV, which is only -$53,830.71, while he ended up losing $86K.

Stefan Burakov leads by 300K, but lots of play left

Burakov still leads by more than $300,000, but there is still a lot of play left as the two agreed on playing 50,000 hands.

Given the high variance heads-up brings with it, Malinowski has more than enough time to turn things around.
