Tom Dwan challenge looks to get underway soon

The challenge issued by Tom Dwan to everyone (except for Phil Galfond) looks to be almost underway, as FTP has set up a series of special heads up tables titled ‘durrrr Challenge’ 1-4. One seat is reserved for Dwan, and it’s expected play will begin shortly at the 200/400 PLO tables.

For those of you unfamiliar, here’s the text of the challenge issued by Dwan a few weeks ago:

“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.”

Updates as they occur.
