Full Tilt Poker has recently unveiled an original informative site covering all the facts of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an intense online heads up tourney highlighting some of the best big money poker players challenging the online poker phenomenon Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The innovative new section offers internet poker players and fanatics the chance to follow this amazing durrrr challenge and check out timely statistical updates. With this fresh “durrrr Challenge” portal poker players can view all the poker action and review each poker hand played during the poker challenge, and check out tons of statistics, including how many hands were played, time of session, cash won, average won during each hand and tons more.

Around six months ago, the twenty-three year old online poker pro delivered a heads-up poker challenge open to any player with the loot, time and talent to accept it. Any poker star entering the Full Tilt Poker durrrr challenge has to bet $500,000 against durrrr’s $1.5 million. Dwan’s challenge states that at least 50,000 poker hands need to be played at the same time at 4 or more tables of no-limit Hold’em or pot-limit Omaha. At the end of the durrrr challenge, the player who has more cash will take home the pool. In essence if you enter the durrrr challenge and win a dollar after the 50,000 poker hands, then you will secure Tom’s $1.5 Million, but if he wins by a dollar then he will take home your $500,000.

So far, a number of poker players have consented to play the “durrrr challenge”, including seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, yet, only Patrick Antonius has accepted the Full Tilt Poker Challenge. Until now, both poker pros have completed in a total of 20,647 poker hands out of 50,000, with Tom Dwan leading the count $726,546 total.
