FullTiltPoker.net has recently launched an original informative site containing all the action of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an intense online heads up poker tournament highlighting some of the greatest high stakes poker players challenging the Heads Up Specialist Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The brand new section offers online poker players and fans the opportunity to stay on top of this historical internet poker challenge and check out timely statistical updates. With this innovative “durrrr Challenge” section fans can follow all the poker action and review each hand played during this poker challenge, and look at tons of statistics, including how many hands were played, session time, cash won, average won during each hand and lots more.

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

Thus far, a number of professional poker players have accepted to play the “durrrr challenge”, including WSOP Champ Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, however, only Patrick Antonius has said yes to the Full Tilt Poker Challenge. Until now, both poker pros have taken part in a total of 20,647 hands out of 50,000, with Tom leading the count $726,546 total.
