Full Tilt Poker has just opened an original info section containing all the information of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an amazing online heads up tournament highlighting some of the best big money online poker players competing against the online poker phenom Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The innovative new website offers online poker players and fans the opportunity to monitor this amazing durrrr challenge and receive frequent challenge details. With this fresh “durrrr Challenge” site fans can track all the poker action and check out each poker hand played during the poker challenge, and check out lots of statistics, including number of hands played, session time, amount won, average won during each hand and much more.

Around six months ago, the 23 year old internet poker professional issued a heads-up challenge open to any player with the cash, time and capability to accept it. Any player entering the poker challenge has to bet $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 4 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 money will secure the pool. Basically if you enter the Full Tilt Challenge and win $1 after the 50,000 hands, then you will take home Tom’s $1.5 Million, but if he triumphs by a dollar then he will win your $500,000.

Up to now, some poker pros have agreed to to play the “durrrr challenge”, including seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, yet, only Patrick Antonius has consented to the durrrr challenge. Thus far, both poker players have completed in a total of 20,647 poker hands out of 50,000, with Tom ahead $726,546 total.
