06.24.09

FullTilt has recently opened an original info section containing all the facts of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an incredible online heads up poker tournament presenting some of the most talented big money online poker players competing against the online poker phenom Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The brand new site offers online poker players and followers the chance to follow this amazing internet poker challenge and receive frequent challenge details. With this brand new “durrrr Challenge” portal fans can view all the details and check out each poker hand played during this poker challenge, and check out lots of statistical information, including how many hands were played, session time, cash won, average won during each hand and much more.

Close to six months ago, the twenty-three year old online poker phenom issued a heads-up poker challenge open to any player with the money, time and ability to accept it. Any poker player entering the challenge has to wager $500,000 against Dwan’s $1.5 million. Dwan’s challenge states that a minimum 50,000 hands need to be played at the same time at four or more tables of no-limit Hold’em or pot-limit Omaha. At the end of the challenge, the player who has more money will earn the pool. In essence if you enter the durrrr challenge and win a dollar after the 50,000 hands, then you will earn Dwan’s $1.5 Million, but if he wins by a dollar then he will earn your $500,000.

Up to now, a few professional poker players have consented to play the “durrrr challenge”, including WSOP Champ Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, yet, only Patrick Antonius has agreed to the challenge. Thus far, both poker players have taken part in a total of 20,647 poker hands out of 50,000, with Tom durrrr Dwan ahead $726,546 total.
