The durrr challenge is an open challenge to the online poker community offered by high-stakes phenom Tom Dwan. Dwan basically offered all comers 3-1 on the following bet: That over 50,000 hands of 200/400 Pot Limit Omaha played online, they could not show a profit against him.

Here’s the original post made by Dwan announcing the challenge:

“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. So I’m giving a million dollars free if anyone thinks they can do it.”

Patrik Antonius was the first to take Dwan up on the bet, and the two are currently battling it out on Full Tilt Poker.

If you’re interested in watching the two battle it out, download Full Tilt (might as well get rakeback at FTP while you’re at it) and look for the special ‘durrrr challenge tables’ under the Omaha Hi tab in the main lobby.
