Full Tilt Poker has just launched a new informative section containing all the action of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an intense online heads up poker tournament featuring some of the world’s best big money poker players taking on the Heads Up Specialist Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The brand new section presents internet poker players and fans the chance to stay on top of this historical online poker challenge and get timely challenge details. With this brand new “durrrr Challenge” website players can follow all the poker action and review each hand played during the poker challenge, and look at lots of statistics, including number of hands played, session time, cash won, average won during each hand and much more.

About six months ago, the 23 year old online poker phenom issued a heads-up poker challenge open to any poker player with the money, time and ability to accept it. Any player entering the poker challenge has to bet $500,000 against Dwan’s $1.5 million. Tom’s challenge specifies that a minimum 50,000 online 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 heads up challenge, the player who has more money will secure the pool. Basically if you enter the durrrr challenge and win $1 after the 50,000 hands, then you will secure Tom’s $1.5 Million, but if he succeeds by $1 then he will win your $500,000.

So far, several poker pros have agreed to to play the “durrrr challenge”, including WSOP Champ Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, but, only Patrick Antonius has said yes to the Full Tilt Poker Challenge. Until now, both players have participated in a total of 20,647 poker hands out of 50,000, with Dwan ahead $726,546 total.
