The Durrrr Challenge picks up steam and the EPT Grand Final reaches a final table. Catch up with the pokerverse in today’s PTP Hit and Run.

FTOPS rolls on at Full Tilt Poker. In the latest batch of winners is Shannon Shorr, who has more than $3 million in live tournament winnings and added a gold jersey to his resume. Read more here.

For whatever reason, the Durrrr Challenge is picking up steam. Since the outcome is all but decided in Tom Dwan’s favor, it’s about time that they wrapped it up. Dwan logged a small profit from their latest session. Next up after Antonius was supposed to be Brian Townsend. But Dwan has thrown that into doubt, according to this story.

The European Poker Tour’s Grand Final in Monte Carlo is at the final table, and it’s mostly players with European-sounding names, not shockingly. Watch a live stream here, or get live updates at the PokerStars blog. Look at the action and the final table here, video about it below.

The 25K Euro high-roller event is also under way, with Isildur1 Viktor Blom in the field. Here’s a look at that:

It’s not all good news for live poker, these days. The World Poker Tour has been struggling with attendance this year. To combat that next year, they are moving their season-ending event, the Bellagio Five-Star World Poker Classic, so that it takes place right before the World Series of Poker. And a story at ESPN talks about low numbers at the WSOP circuit events.

The latest episode of the poker news show Poker2Nite is out, including an interview with Liv Boeree after she won the EPT event in San Remo. First segment below, watch them all here.

Bodog just rolled out its new client, and some WSOP qualifiers. You can read more about it here.

Poker is now a skill game, officially. Well, at least according to the International Mind Sports Association. Poker will be a part of the World Mind Sports Games in 2012 in the United Kingdom, alongside the Olympics.

Senator Doyle Brunson? Well, not really, but he said he would run for office if he were younger, according to his latest blog post.

The 2+2 forums are huge, with lots of threads to wade through. Luckily, the Tao of Poker gave us the five funniest threads here.
