FullTiltPoker.com has recently launched a brand new informative section containing all the action of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an amazing online heads up poker tournament presenting some of the finest big money poker players challenging the online poker phenomenon Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The new website section presents poker players and fans the opportunity to stay on top of this amazing online poker challenge and receive regular statistical updates. With this fresh “durrrr Challenge” website players can track all the action and review each hand played during the challenge, and check out tons of stats, including number of hands played, time of session, amount won, average won during each hand and lots more.

About six months ago, the twenty-three year old internet poker pro handed out a heads-up challenge for any poker player with the money, time and talent to accept it. Any poker star entering the poker challenge has to put up $500,000 against durrrr’s $1.5 million. Full Tilt durrrr challenge specifies that a minimum 50,000 poker hands need to be played simultaneously 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 win the pool. Essentially if you enter the durrrr challenge and win a dollar after the 50,000 poker hands, then you will earn Tom’s $1.5 Million, but if he triumphs by $1 then he will take home your $500,000.

So far, a few professional poker players have agreed to to play the “durrrr challenge”, including seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, but, only Patrick Antonius has agreed to the poker challenge. Thus far, both poker pros have taken part in a total of 20,647 poker hands out of 50,000, with Dwan up by $726,546 total.
