The Durrrr Challenge
Tom “Durrrr” Dwan slapped all other online poker players in the face by challenging them to play him online on 4 Heads up PLO 200-400 tables at the same time. The bait was carefully thought out. Durrrr invited ANYONE in the world (except Phil Galfond) to play him HU.
If they could beat him he would pay an amazingly $1.500.000 million to his opponent and he accepted to only receive $500.000 if he himself won the match.
Patrick Antonius, David Benjamin and Phil Ivey soon announced they would play Durrrr and the the famous Finnish player Patrick was the first one to take Dwans bet. Action has been slow and so far no more than 21.000 of the 50.000 hands have been played. Durrrr has taken the lead in the match and are up a little short of $350.000. At the stakes those players play $350.000 is nothing Patrick can not overcome but the questions is really if he is in over his head against the young super star Tom Dwan.
Players can follow all the action on Full Tilt Poker who hosts the HU matches.
Another player worthwhile following these day are the new bad boy in town MARTONAS who really understand to give all railbirds something to talk about. This guy is not afraid of anything and the swings on the big tables these days are several million dollars. Monster pots are played all the time and the only thing missing in the game is to see Luke “Fullflush1” Schwartz entering the scene.
If this happen a firework will break lose and someone might end up losing an amazing amount of money in just a single session.
Studying those games can be a really good learning tool on top of the excitement to see $500.000 pots regularly change hands.
