Big Money Equals Big Players

Online casino and online poker players do not often back down when there is an opportunity to win in a high stakes game, this tournament is no exception. We reported in an earlier article that the online poker ace Tom ‘durrr’ Dwan challenged anyone who thought that they are better than him and if they were to win he would give them $1.5 million. According to Poker Road Radio some of the top online poker players have picked up the challenge thrown down by Dwan. Among those players who are regulars at online casinos are: David Benyamine, Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, and Barry Greenstein. The first of the players who will take the big bad “durrr” Dwan on will likely be Benyamine, the game will be hosted by the online casino for all to behold.

The online casino challenge began when Dwan said in an interview that he would put down $1.5 million against any other player’s $500,000. This would also require that the players play simultaneously on four tables at the online casino in a heads up challenge where the minimum stakes would be $200 to $400. The remainders of the rules for the challenge to win Dwan’s 1.5 million are pretty simple. The players will both have to play at the very minimum 50,000 hands. If the player who challenged Dwan finishes those hands with as little as a dollar more than he started with then he gets to keep the $1.5 Million. Now, on the other hand, if ‘durrr’ ends up ahead after the 50,000 hands then he gets to keep the opponent’s $500,000.

This online casino tournament will definitely be one to watch. All of these players have played each other in various online casinos, but nothing has been as high stakes as this. This gives each player a great idea about what their opponent’s strengths and weaknesses are. This is sure to make one of the most exciting online poker tournaments that have been played in a very long time.
