FullTiltPoker.net has recently opened a new info section covering all the facts of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an amazing online heads up tourney presenting some of the best high stakes online players taking on the online poker phenom Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The new site gives poker players and fanatics the opportunity to follow this historical Full Tilt Poker Challenge and receive timely statistical updates. With this new “durrrr Challenge” portal poker players can follow all the details and review each hand played during the challenge, and look at lots of statistics, including how many hands were played, time of session, cash won, average won during each hand and lots more.

Around six months ago, the twenty-three year old internet poker player delivered a heads-up challenge open to any poker player with the money, time and ability to accept it. Any poker pro entering the durrrr challenge has to put up $500,000 against durrrr’s $1.5 million. Tom’s challenge states 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 durrrr challenge, the player who has more cash will earn the pool. In essence if you enter the poker challenge and win a dollar after the 50,000 hands, then you will earn Dwan’s $1.5 Million, but if he succeeds by $1 then he will take your $500,000.

Thus far, several poker players have agreed to to play the “durrrr challenge”, including Full Tilt Poker Star Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, however, only Patrick Antonius has agreed to the poker challenge. At this point, both poker stars have participated in a total of 20,647 hands out of 50,000, with Tom leading the count $726,546 total.
