As we posted here over the weekend, it has now been made public that ”durrrr” has officially signed with Full Tilt. The online poker website has given the poker professional a warm welcome with an Official Website featuring a welcome video clip and other details from the career of ”durrrr”.
One of the most interesting features of the ”durrrr” Website is the welcome video from Team Full Tilt poker players Howard Lederer, Andy Bloch, Jennifer Harman and others. The ”durrrr” video on FullTilt Poker also features an appearance from the legendary online poker player, Dwan.
”durrrr” has been keeping himself quite busy as of late with a new Dwan blog, which will actually be authored from poker experiences of Tom "durrrr" Dwan himself. And let’s not forget the durrrr Challenge which is on its 27,185th hand out of the scheduled 50,000 total poker hands.

durrrr News Updates from Full Tilt Poker
Full Tilt Poker has just unveiled an original informative site covering all the information of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an amazing online heads up challenge involving some of the finest high stakes poker players challenging the poker sensation Tom “durrrr” Dwan.
The new website section offers online poker players and followers the opportunity to track this amazing Full Tilt Poker Challenge and check out timely challenge details. With this innovative “durrrr Challenge” website poker players can track all the action and review each hand played during the challenge, and look at lots of statistical information, including how many hands were played, time of session, amount won, average won during each hand and much more.
About six months ago, the 23 year old internet poker pro delivered a heads-up challenge open to any poker player with the loot, time and talent to accept it. Any poker pro entering the challenge has to bet $500,000 against durrrr’s $1.5 million. Tom’s challenge specifies that a minimum 50,000 hands need to be played simultaneously at 4 or more tables of no-limit Hold’em or pot-limit Omaha. At the end of the heads up challenge, the poker player who has more money will earn the pool. In essence if you enter the Full Tilt Challenge and win a dollar after the 50,000 hands, then you will win Tom’s $1.5 Million, but if he triumphs by $1 then he will win your $500,000.
So far, a number of professional poker players have accepted to play the “durrrr challenge”, including seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, though, only Patrick Antonius has said yes to the poker challenge. Thus far, both poker pros have completed in a total of 20,647 hands out of 50,000, with Dwan leading the count $726,546 total.

De La Hoya vs. ”Pac-Man” Pacquiao Considered to be the Biggest Vegas event of the year will be held in the MGM
The LV event many boxing fans have been itching to see is just around the corner. The Golden Boy will battle one of the world’s current top boxers, Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao. This boxing match is listed to take place on Sat. December 6th in the MGM Garden Arena in LV.
No doubt that there has been many words spoken in Las Vegas, Nevada about this boxing match. Oscar De La Hoya has trimmed his weight down to 147 lbs. to compete as a welterweight, and some people think that Oscar De La Hoya may not be as tough since the weight reduction. Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao has already competed once as a lightweight and wishes to fight in the welterweight division. Manny is also the current lightweight champion , and is regarded by many boxing experts to be the best boxer at the moment.
This is Oscar De La Hoya’s first visit back to Vegas for a fight since he took on Floyd Mayweather Jr. this past year. This fight is certain to be a sell-out for the MGM Grand Arena Las Vegas. Sightseers to LV have decreased in the past few months, but LV events like this competition really have a way of bringing folks to Vegas.
This fight will definitely be one people will be talking about for years to come as it puts together the two best fighters of our time in a twelve round welterweight contest. The Golden Boy v. Manny tickets are selling quickly. If you check out only one Las Vegas, Nevada event during this year, this is definitely the LV Event to watch.
