Has he got too big for his boots or is tom dawn the greatest on line player... “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.”

I don't think this is really gonna happen, but he has the money and in fact he's a great player online, in real well, he's kinda searching for his mousepad, I guess lol , but anyway he's gonna win a bracelet soon, I would like to see his face if Ivey's the one to accept ^^, that would scare the crack outta him I figure, but maybe not, cause he has already enough of that frekin money

50.000 hands
That will take forever. And i guess this will stop that thing from happening. But actually that would be a job for Phil Hellmuth. He wanted to take on Dwan.

WRONG!
Benyamine and Ivey have allready accepted the challenge.
Nice joke. How do you want to do that? I mean for example I play against you and you win a dollar but I don't want to give you my 500k. How would you make pay you? And vice versa...

ivey n benyamine already accepteed r u serious ivey is god but what does benyamine think her doing o well this is gonna big so sickkk n gona go on 4 fuk agess BWIN should stream it live also i dont really understand the stipulations set by durrrr does he mean that hes gonna start with 1.5mill in chips n the other person starts with 500000 in that case durrr is at an advantage because everyone knows heads up the short stack is an underdog also does he mean after 50k hand if the other person has more chips than what he started off with he gets all his money?? im sorry but either hes too vague or im too dumb
i still love durrrrrrrr hes the reason i started playing poker after i stumbled onto his bio on the net in 3 years time i hope i can achieve 1/4th of what he has done at his age

hmm probly some other stuff but im out of it b/c i jus got owned @ some scrabble. I was gonna think up official 'terms' and post em or something, but thought i had another week or two b4 it became public.
Hellmouth-might be gunning for durrrr, but heads up he aint got a chance.(unless on UB) nor the balls :} you missed out Patrik Antonius shokaku, looks like he is going to play all 3

I like this guy durrr, extremely agressiv, fun to watch. Also like ziigmunt 'ziigy'', also extremely agressiv, pushing people out of the pot.
Saw the HU durrr against hellmouth, raise durrr (TT), reraise hellmouth (AA), durrr allin, hellmouth calls, T on board , hellmouth got crazy red face great television

wow you have the bankroll to play 50.000 hands on 200$/400$? could cost you millions against durr. no suprise ivey accepted, even if he loses it won't be that hard for him, but i could imagine that they will play 500$/1000$ Blinds (ivey usual online limit). this or that way, it will be some good action. durr vs. benyamine could be an interesting PLO-game, as benyamine is running very good in plo. i'm looking forward to what antonius will do. gus hansen will probably wait for an omaha hi/lo game, i think in PLO and NLH he wouldn't have a good chance against durr

Four tables headsup against the same person would be interesting to play. Any word on when Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonious and David Benyamine will play him?

Not sure if it ever will happen TBH. ok, count david out he only said he was considering it. Phil and Patric have said yes, but nothing has been set as yet, also now Phil is getting jittery (IMO) aying things lke i thought david was going to play first, then he wants patric to play first and complaining that at the end of it all someone will be broke, and durrrr is used to playing multi tables likethis and he is not, if he backs down now i think its only fair he has to buy out. Also Patric has a lot of golf commitments so he could be out of it too. Looks like its just Phil, and a very nevous one at that.

Time for the other Phil to throw his hat in the ring. He wanted to take on Dwan after he sucked out on him during the heads up championchip. This is the chance to to it. And if they play on UB he would be a huge favorite.

Not sure were it was, seen a little interview and some of his chat but it looks like he doesnt want to play first the way he was talking. Outher person, Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies is the only one i could think possable, or some crazy multi millionair.

Farha?
He is judged as one of the best PLO players. And he is loose enough to take on Dwan.
, but anyway he's gonna win a bracelet soon, I would like to see his face if Ivey's the one to accept ^^, that would scare the crack outta him I figure, but maybe not, cause he has already enough of that frekin money 
I'd probably lose a million on top of the 500k lol.
