FullTilt has just launched an original info site covering all the action of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an exciting online heads up tourney involving some of the greatest high stakes online poker players challenging the poker sensation Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The innovative new website offers internet poker players and fans the chance to stay on top of this historical online poker challenge and get timely updates. With this new “durrrr Challenge” site players can track all the action and review each poker hand played during the poker challenge, and get tons of statistics, including number of hands played, session time, cash won, average won during each hand and much more.

Close to six months ago, the twenty-three year old internet poker pro delivered a heads-up challenge open to any player with the money, time and capability to accept it. Any poker player entering the durrrr challenge has to bet $500,000 against Dwan’s $1.5 million. Dwan’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 cash will earn the pool. Essentially if you enter the Full Tilt Challenge and win a dollar after the 50,000 poker hands, then you will win Dwan’s $1.5 Million, but if he wins by a dollar then he will take home your $500,000.

To date, some professional poker players have agreed to to play the “durrrr challenge”, including Full Tilt Poker Star Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, yet, only Patrick Antonius has said yes to the Full Tilt Poker Challenge. Thus far, both poker players have completed in a total of 20,647 hands out of 50,000, with durrrr ahead $726,546 total.
