FullTilt has recently introduced an original informative section containing all the action of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an intense online heads up tournament involving some of the most talented big money online poker players taking on the Heads Up Specialist Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The brand new section gives internet poker players and fans the chance to follow this amazing durrrr challenge and check out frequent updates. With this new “durrrr Challenge” portal players can view all the action and check out each poker hand played during the challenge, and check out lots of statistical information, including how many hands were played, session time, amount won, average won during each hand and much more.

Close to six months ago, the twenty-three year old internet poker professional handed out a heads-up challenge for any poker player with the money, time and talent 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 at least 50,000 online poker 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 heads up challenge, the poker player who has more cash will secure 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 $1 then he will take home your $500,000.

Up to now, several poker players have accepted to play the “durrrr challenge”, including WSOP Champ Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, though, only Patrick Antonius has accepted the poker challenge. At this point, both poker players have taken part in a total of 20,647 hands out of 50,000, with Tom Dwan ahead $726,546 total.
