FullTiltPoker.net has just launched a brand new informative section covering all the action of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an intense online heads up poker tournament involving some of the most talented high stakes online poker players taking on the online poker star Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The innovative new section offers poker players and fans the chance to monitor this incredible internet poker challenge and get regular challenge details. With this innovative “durrrr Challenge” website poker players can track all the poker action and look at each hand played during durrrr Challenge, and look at tons of statistical information, including how many hands were played, session time, cash won, average won during each hand and much more.

About six months ago, the twenty-three year old internet poker player issued a heads-up challenge open to any player with the loot, time and capability to accept it. Any player entering the challenge has to bet $500,000 against Tom’s $1.5 million. Tom’s challenge specifies that a minimum 50,000 hands need to be played at the same time at four or more tables of no-limit Hold’em or pot-limit Omaha. At the end of the challenge, the player who has more cash will take home the pool. Essentially if you enter the poker challenge and win $1 after the 50,000 hands, then you will win Dwan’s $1.5 Million, but if he succeeds by a dollar then he will take your $500,000.

Up to now, several 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 players have taken part in a total of 20,647 hands out of 50,000, with Tom Dwan up by $726,546 total.
