FullTilt has just opened a new info site covering all the facts of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an amazing online heads up tournament involving some of the best big money online players competing against the Heads Up Specialist Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The brand new website section presents internet poker players and fanatics the chance to monitor this incredible durrrr challenge and check out frequent challenge details. With this innovative “durrrr Challenge” section players can follow all the poker action and check out each hand played during durrrr Challenge, and get lots of statistics, including how many hands were played, session time, cash won, average won during each hand and lots more.

About six months ago, the twenty-three year old online poker star issued a heads-up challenge for any poker player with the cash, time and ability to accept it. Any poker pro entering the poker challenge has to put up $500,000 against Dwan’s $1.5 million. Dwan’s challenge states that at least 50,000 poker hands need to be played at the same time at 4 or more poker tables of no-limit Hold’em or pot-limit Omaha. At the end of the heads up challenge, the poker player who has more cash will earn the pool. Basically if you enter the durrrr challenge and win $1 after the 50,000 poker hands, then you will win durrrr’s $1.5 Million, but if he wins by $1 then he will win your $500,000.

To date, a number of poker pros have accepted to play the “durrrr challenge”, including seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, though, only Patrick Antonius has accepted the Full Tilt Poker Challenge. Until now, both players have taken part in a total of 20,647 poker hands out of 50,000, with durrrr up by $726,546 total.
