Full Tilt has just opened a brand new info site comprising all the facts of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an incredible online heads up tournament highlighting some of the most talented big money online poker players challenging the online poker phenom Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The innovative new website section presents internet poker players and followers the opportunity to track this incredible internet poker challenge and check out regular updates. With this innovative “durrrr Challenge” portal poker players can view all the poker action and check out each poker hand played during the challenge, and get lots of statistics, including how many hands were played, time of session, cash won, average won during each hand and much more.

Close to six months ago, the 23 year old online poker pro delivered a heads-up challenge open to any poker player with the cash, time and capability to accept it. Any player entering the durrrr challenge has to wager $500,000 against Dwan’s $1.5 million. durrrr’s challenge states that at least 50,000 online poker hands need to be played simultaneously at 4 or more 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. Basically if you enter the Full Tilt Challenge and win $1 after the 50,000 poker hands, then you will earn Dwan’s $1.5 Million, but if he wins by $1 then he will take home your $500,000.

Thus far, a number of professional poker players have agreed to to play the “durrrr challenge”, including Full Tilt Poker Star Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, though, only Patrick Antonius has accepted the poker challenge. At this point, both poker pros have completed in a total of 20,647 hands out of 50,000, with Dwan ahead $726,546 total.
