durrrr vs Antonius in the Full Tilt Poker Challenge

FullTiltPoker.net has just unveiled a new info section involving all the information of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an incredible online heads up poker tournament highlighting some of the greatest big money online players taking on the Heads Up Specialist Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The new section offers online poker players and followers the opportunity to follow this amazing durrrr challenge and check out timely challenge details. With this innovative “durrrr Challenge” portal poker players can follow all the action and check out each hand played during the poker challenge, and check out tons of statistics, including number of hands played, time of session, amount won, average won during each hand and tons more.

About six months ago, the twenty-three year old online poker pro handed out a heads-up challenge open to any poker player with the cash, time and capability to accept it. Any poker star entering the durrrr challenge has to bet $500,000 against durrrr’s $1.5 million. Tom’s challenge states that a minimum 50,000 hands need to be played at the same time at 4 or more poker tables of no-limit Hold’em or pot-limit Omaha. At the end of the durrrr challenge, the poker player who has more money will win the pool. Essentially if you enter the durrrr challenge and win $1 after the 50,000 hands, then you will get Tom’s $1.5 Million, but if he triumphs by a dollar then he will win your $500,000.

Thus far, several poker pros have accepted to play the “durrrr challenge”, including Full Tilt Poker Star Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, but, only Patrick Antonius has accepted the durrrr challenge. Thus far, both poker stars have engaged in a total of 20,647 poker hands out of 50,000, with Tom Dwan leading the count $726,546 total.
