As most of the poker world knows by now, Tom “durrrr” Dwan issued a challenge to all comers (excluding his friend Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond). Long story short. 50,000 hands of heads up Pot Limit Omaha at $200/$400, four tables at a time. Dwan is paying 3 to 1 odds to his opponents by putting up $1,500,000 in cash to their $500,000. Whoever is ahead after 50k hands collects from their opponent.
We’ve been hearing for several days that the challenge was about to begin and earlier this week we saw the first hands. Patrik Antonius was the first player to step up for his shot. They played around 1,500 of the required hands and it appears that Dwan is in the lead by over $100,000.
The challenge match against Antonius will be going on for quite some time as the two players are balancing other commitments but FTP has made it easier for the railbirds to track the action. Four reserved tables have been setup in the Omaha Lobby specifically for Dwan. You can find 4 special “durrrr Challenge” tables, keep your eyes on the lobby for the action to resume.
We, the staff of Poker From the Rail, promise to keep a very close eye on the games and bring you some of the exciting action.
