Full Tilt Pro Tom Dwan issues challenge to the poker world

  • 1-9-2009

Twenty two year old Full Tilt Pro and famous online high stakes player, Tom "durrrr" Dwan, has issued a challenge saying that he will put up $1 million to prove the rest of the online poker community that he is the best online player in cyberspace.

"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."

Dwan did outline a series of rules for the event in the same post, saying:

·         A player can Change to another table at anytime if their chip stacks are greater than 250 big blinds.

·         A player must reload when their chip stacks fall below 75 big blinds

·         Money won during the matches will be kept by that player plus the bonus wager.

·         The same stakes will be played the entire time.

Dwan also made clear that the challenge is open to all players with the exception of Phil ‘OMGClayAiken’ Galfond , who according to Dwan is not allowed to participate in the challenge. Dwan's challenge specifies that a minimum of 50,000 online hands need to be played simultaneously at four or more tables of no-limit Hold'em or pot-limit Omaha. At this moment, the five time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey, Patrick Antonius and David Benyamine have already accepted the challenge that will take place at FullTilt.com high stake tables.
