OK, so Tom Dwan fancies taking on the world's best at super-high heads-up poker. Standard. The real question is this: will he have his arse handed to him on a plate or not?

Story here.

Doubt it.

Phil Ivey might be a better player but he'll struggle to play 4 tables well. Antonius will play the 4 tables alright but probably get pwned at PLO. Benyamine... well, he's as overrated as you are.

I think they are all equally talented but durrrr is going to have the upper hand when it comes to multi-tabling. Try and 4-table the same person heads up, it is not easy. You will often have 2 or more difficult and important decisions to make at the same time. If durrrr can get them to make mistakes because of this it will add up and could easily swing this heavily in his favor.

Very exciting indeed, biggest story in poker since the main event.

I was just reading that durrrr won $467k in January, including one omaha hand where he took $267k off Gus Shocked

He may well need that cash if he f*cks up this challenge!

Is that just on one site, or total for the month? Last thing I heard he was down $400k on Stars!

His swings are amazing, just imagine your bankroll fluctuating like that!! 

Does he ever play on TV? I'd be interested to see what type of guy he is.

Not such a great January for Durr if this is to be believed.

It makes my eyes water just reading those figures.
