Poker Challenge Between Tom Dwan and durrrr: 7 Years and Counting


The ongoing poker challenge between Tom Dwan and durrrr, which began in 2010, has seen significant developments. With 25,000 hands left to play, the players discuss the challenges and potential resolution.

Tom Dwan has paid around $700-800k in fines since 2010. Despite the financial burden, Dwan remains optimistic about completing the challenge. He expressed his desire to finish the challenge on PokerStars, which he believes is the most obvious platform for the remaining hands. However, durrrr mentioned that a deposit of $200k or more through Skrill would be required for this to happen.

durrrr also shared his concerns about the prevalence of bots on PokerStars, particularly in SNG tournaments. He believes that the situation is worsening, and he has encountered bots himself. This adds another layer of complexity to the already lengthy challenge.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
