Patrick Antonius vs Durrrr – 50K Hands Challenge

Patrick Antonius has been the first player to accept Tom ‘Durrrr’ Dwan’s offer to play in his heads up Challenge.  If you haven’t heard about Durrrr’s Challenge here is the just of it:

Durrrr challenged any player in the world to play him in high limit heads up NL Hold’em or PL Omaha on 4 tables simultaneously for 50,000 hands.  The player that comes out on top after the 50,000 hands wins.  Here is what makes it really interesting.  If Durrrr wins the challenger has to pay him $500K on top of his winnings, but if Durrrr loses he is putting up $1.5 Million.  This 3 to 1 differential makes the challenge very tempting to high stakes poker players.  Antonius was the first player to accept the challenge, but Phil Ivey and David Benyamine were not far behind.

The Durrrr, Antonius challenge should be starting in the next week or two and Full TIlt Poker has already jumped on the challenge and added “Durrrr” challenge tables to their PL Omaha ring game section (PL Omaha is what Antonius decided to play).  This should be a very interesting challenge with some big pots, big money and big bragging rights.
