Durrrr Challenge set to begin...

[ngaskin]

Full Tilt Poker has created 4 x 200/400 PLO tables titled "durrrr challenge" which indicates it is getting closer to starting.

Durrrr's first challenger is confirmed as Patrik Antonius, however it is not known exactly when they will start. Phil Ivey is the only other confirmed undertaker of the challenge, however David Benyamine is rumoured to be very close to giving the ok.

2 days ago close friend of Durrrr 'OMGClayAiken' was sitting at all for tables with between 250 and 450k on each, and was humorously calling out Durrrr.

OMGClayAiken: WHERE ARE YOU DURRRR?
OMGClayAiken: TOM
OMGClayAiken: COME OUT FROM YOUR LITTLE HOLE
OMGClayAiken: AND PLAY ME
OMGClayAiken: TOM IS SO SCARED
OMGClayAiken: HEY TOM
OMGClayAiken: LETS FLIP
OMGClayAiken: 200K EACH
OMGClayAiken: 1ST TO 5MILL
OMGClayAiken: WHATS THE POINT OF THESE TABLES
OMGClayAiken: IF HES NOT GONNA PLAY ME

Durrrr later sat at all four tables with a cool million on each before sitting out again, just to tease the railbirds seemingly!

Some more chat which has been caught at the tables;

Ziigmund: tom
durrrr: wtuop

Hope he wins against Pat but loses to Ivey.

[ngaskin]

vs Antonius playing purely PLO - lose
vs Ivey playing PLO - lose
vs Ivey playing NLHE - win
vs Benyamine playing NLHE - win
vs Benyamine playing PLO - lose big time

[MJPerry]

He'll play NLHE with Ivey for sure. He'll win, too.

PA is gonna win and Benyamine will choose PLO and totally thrash him.

isn't benyamine a nosebleed fish? plus i think his edge comes from the volume/4 tabling aspect

isn't benyamine a nosebleed fish?

Results from January 1st 2008 to February 13th 2009;

NLHE Benyamine has won $2,653,021.24 in 32,240 hands

PLO Benyamine has won $7,189,593.10 in 103,293 hands

DB is almost $5m ahead of the next best PLO player who is OMGClayAiken and he has won just over $3.6m

[ngaskin]

DB's problem is he is down just over $1m in FL HORSE and down $5.8m in FL Omaha H/L
