Poker Champ Challenges Fellow Players

There are certainly many players out there who play at online casinos because they love the thrill of the game, Tom “durr” Dwan is absolutely one of those players. Dwan is an online casino poker, high stakes player who is starting 2009 with an interesting and bold 3 to 1 challenge which is open to all online casino players. In this challenge he will be taking on not only some of the new up and coming poker players that play online but he will also be facing some of the World’s best poker players at this internet showdown. Not that he has anything to be scared about, he has seen this kind of competition before. His 2008 winnings alone are impressive enough to make him a definite threat at the online tournament.

Dwan’s year in 2008 was a great one, especially in the realm of the No Limit Texas Hold’em. He won close to $3.4 million in NLHE just in the month of December. There were six tournaments available in December for the no limit games available at online casinos. Dwan won four out of the six online casino poker tournaments. This left his year net total at a little over $6 million, thanks to NHLE. There have been reports saying that he is willing to throw down any amount of money to prove to everyone that he is the best around. He did an interview with Bluff Magazine in which he said that he is worth every penny he wins.

The online casino poker champ is so confident that he will win, he told Bluff Magazine: “I’m making this heads-up challenge to the world," Dwan told Bluff Magazine. "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.” Then he confidently added, “So I’m giving a million dollars free if anyone thinks they can do it.” The online tournaments will take place later on this month.
