FullTiltPoker.com has recently unveiled an innovative informative site involving all the details of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an amazing online heads up challenge presenting some of the world’s best high stakes online players competing against the Heads Up Specialist Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The brand new site presents online poker players and followers the opportunity to monitor this incredible Full Tilt Poker Challenge and check out regular statistical updates. With this new “durrrr Challenge” site fans can track all the action and look at each hand played during durrrr Challenge, and get lots of statistical information, including number of hands played, session time, amount won, average won during each hand and tons more.

About six months ago, the twenty-three year old online poker pro issued a heads-up challenge for any poker player with the money, time and capability to accept it. Any poker star entering the challenge has to bet $500,000 against Tom’s $1.5 million. Tom’s challenge specifies that a minimum 50,000 poker hands need to be played at the same time at four 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 cash will earn the pool. In essence if you enter the poker challenge and win $1 after the 50,000 hands, then you will take home Dwan’s $1.5 Million, but if he wins by a dollar then he will win your $500,000.

Up to now, some poker players have accepted to play the “durrrr challenge”, including seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, but, only Patrick Antonius has accepted the poker challenge. Until now, both poker players have engaged in a total of 20,647 poker hands out of 50,000, with Tom Dwan up by $726,546 total.
