Durrr Heads-up Challenge

<img src="http://www.tlpoker.pl/staff/Soprano/dwan.jpeg" align="right" style="margin:6px; border:1px solid black;">As you might have read on our forum, Tom "durrr" Dwan, made an incredible heads-up challenge. In an interview with Bluff Magazine, Durrr stated the following:

"I’m making this heads-up challenge to the world. Anyone can accept. Four tables, minimum of $200/$400, and I’ll put up $1.5 million to their $500,000. We play 50,000 hands minimum and if they end up a dollar after rake they keep the side money or whatever. So basically, if you and I played and you won a dollar, you would get my $1.5 million and if I won a dollar I would win your $500,000.

Basically, I'm offering a free million dollars for anyone that thinks he can beat me"

Rules of the challenge are simple:

1) 200-400min (NL/PLO)
2) Players can change tables any time effective stacks are >250bb
3) Players have to reload when stacks are <75bb
4) Cash won in the challenge is kept.
5) Same stakes the whole time
6) Challenge is not open to Phil Galfond

Throughout the poker community people are wondering who might actually be interested in taking on this kind of challenge. With that much money on the line and an insane number of hands to be played, swings could be disastrous and might actually cause the player challenging Durrr to go busto. Not many players actually have the bankroll to face this challenge, let alone the skill to beat one of the best online poker players at the moment. So will this event happen? Time will tell, but we all hope it does.

"Anyone can accept"
"Challenge is not open to Phil Galfond"

does not compute. Anyway, sounds megasick and cannot wait to rail that. Would even download FTP client again o_O

Second.

wow that pic makes him look really... gay

so ask him out

His body movement and facial expressions are somewhat "gay", but I find them kind of charming since they're not forced or played.

I think he should now be called Tom "MF" Durrr Dwan.

because they are like best friends and probably sharing their poker thought on daily basis, big point destroying eachother?

Imagine how funny as hell it would be if you were Phil Galfond and you read the list of conditions

it'd be funny if it gets close and we see some crazy hands late in the game

lolfag

I'd accept if Durr allow me to play one hand instead of 50k
