The Tom 'Durrrr' Dwan Challenge videos are very cool. Thanks for the collection.

After issuing his million dollar challenge to the world the young pro has gone on an epic downswing and it is unclear if he'll be able to afford to finish his challenge

Looks like the young Tom "durrrr" Dwan just may be in a downswing in 2009 and may not be able to afford his very own Durrrr challenge. In 2009, during the month of January, Dwan has lost an incredible $2,780,874.79 while playing at the Full Tilt Poker tables. Nearly $3 million of online losses in just a short three weeks is definitely not the fairy tale that we are accustomed to with Durrrr, although, he is pretty famous when it comes to huge swings.
In early January, Dwan made a public challenge to the poker world that anyone could accept. His challenge is that if anyone can beat him heads-up with 50,000 hands minimum, he will give his $1.5 million. However, Durrrr vowed that if he lost, then he would settle for a simple $500,000.
Basically, with the public challenge announced, the young American has estimated himself to be quite a bit better than any other player in the world. At 3-to-1 odds, three pro poker players are already in line for the Durrrr Challenge. Phil Ivey, David Benyamine and Patrik Antonius have accepted the challenge from Dwan, however, people are wondering if he will have the money when it is time.

It hasn't taken long for some of the world's most accomplished online poker players to accept the $1.5 million challenge thrown out earlier this week by online poker ace Tom "durrr" Dwan . Phil Ivey, David Benyamine, Barry Greenstein and Patrik Antonius have all picked up the gauntlet, according to Poker Road Radio.

Dwan's extraordinarily confident challenge earlier this week was that he would put down $1.5 million to any challenger's $500 000 in games played on four virtual tables simultaneously, heads-up with minimum $200/$400 stakes. Each contender will have to play at least 50 000 hands and if the challenger finishes even a dollar more than where he started, he wins Dwan's $1.5 million. Conversely, if 'durrrr' ends up ahead, he gets to keep the challenger's $500 000.

The high-stakes poker world buzzed earlier this week when online star Tom "durrrr" Dwan, in conjunction with a feature in the February issue of BLUFF Magazine, announced a challenge to all other poker players. Dwan's open challenge included a minimum of 50,000 online hands to be played simultaneously at four or more tables of no-limit hold'em or pot-limit Omaha.

No problem. Enjoy.

Thanks for the post, good to see his reactions!
