The Basic View provides step by step data on all the existing games of poker, and offers poker players the opportunity to choose their currency, type of game, Game (Hold’em, Omaha Hi or HL, Stud and Mixed Games), Limit (Fixed, Pot or No Limit), and Stake. Additionally customers can now check the poker action before going in to a table with the new “Observe Table” option or click on “Browse Table to view the full list of accessible tables.
The Standard View gives information about all the accessible games and permits poker players to modify the list of games and tables to present only the games of their choosing. This selection also provides players the possibility of deciding on the poker table by type, game, stake and check the poker tables before joining the action.
Poker players can also opt the Classic view and keep FullTilt’s original lobby, however, this option will be offered for a short time only and will be withdrawn soon.
Both the Basic and Standard views also contain pioneering new features such as new rotating graphic screen located on the left that gives Full Tilt Players straight entry to Full Tilt’s bonuses and tournaments and events for example the FTOPS, Iron Man, Play with the Pros, Full Tilt Poker Academy, Poker Deposit Bonuses, and many other Full Tilt Promotions and poker tournaments, as well as a video option that permits players to enjoy videos right from the Full Tilt client.

durrrr vs Antonius in the Full Tilt Poker Challenge
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.
