FullTiltPoker.net has recently unveiled a new info site covering all the facts of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an intense online heads up poker tournament highlighting some of the greatest high stakes online poker players challenging the Heads Up Specialist Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The brand new website presents poker players and fans the opportunity to follow this amazing durrrr challenge and get frequent updates. With this new “durrrr Challenge” site fans can track all the action and review each hand played during durrrr Challenge, and get tons of stats, including number of hands played, time of session, amount won, average won during each hand and much more.

About six months ago, the twenty-three year old internet poker star dealt out a heads-up challenge open to any poker player with the loot, time and talent to accept it. Any poker player entering the durrrr challenge has to bet $500,000 against Dwan’s $1.5 million. Dwan’s challenge states that a minimum 50,000 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 poker challenge, the player who has more cash will win the pool. Essentially if you enter the challenge and win a dollar after the 50,000 hands, then you will take home Tom’s $1.5 Million, but if he wins by a dollar then he will take your $500,000.

To date, a few poker players have consented to play the “durrrr challenge”, including seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, but, only Patrick Antonius has accepted the durrrr challenge. Until now, both poker stars have engaged in a total of 20,647 hands out of 50,000, with Dwan ahead $726,546 total.
