Around six months ago, the 23 year old internet poker professional delivered a heads-up challenge for any player with the loot, time and talent to accept it. Any player entering the durrrr challenge has to wager $500,000 against durrrr’s $1.5 million. Tom’s challenge specifies that at least 50,000 online poker hands need to be played at the same time at 4 or more tables of no-limit Hold’em or pot-limit Omaha. At the end of the challenge, the player who has more money will take home the pool.
