About six months ago, the twenty-three year old internet poker pro handed out a heads-up challenge for any poker player with the money, time and talent to accept it. Any poker star entering the poker challenge has to put up $500,000 against durrrr’s $1.5 million. Full Tilt durrrr challenge specifies 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 challenge, the poker player who has more cash will win the pool. Essentially if you enter the durrrr challenge and win a dollar after the 50,000 poker hands, then you will earn Tom’s $1.5 Million, but if he triumphs by $1 then he will take home your $500,000.

So far, a few professional poker players have agreed to to play the “durrrr challenge”, including seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, but, only Patrick Antonius has agreed to the poker challenge. Thus far, both poker pros have taken part in a total of 20,647 poker hands out of 50,000, with Dwan up by $726,546 total.
