Thursday, Nov 12, 2009 Durrrr Million Dollar Challenge Live on TV

It's fascinating to rail Durrrr and friends online, but how cool wouldn't it be to see these games live on TV? We're about to find out as the Durrrr Million Dollar Challenge goes live.

Matchroom Sport will produce, Sky Sports will broadcast and Full Tilt Poker will sponsor the televised version of the Durrrr Million Dollar Challenge which is about to be filmed at Les Ambassadeurs Club in London, UK, starting next weeek.


Tom Durrrr Dwan recently joined Team Full Tilt Poker

Except for the brilliant and fearless Tom "Durrrr" Dwan himself, the show gives us the nosebleed-stakes habitué, crazy Finn Illari "Ziigmund" Sahamies as well as much respected Marcello "Luckexpress" Marigliano, and Sammy "Any Two" George.

Durrrr will play each of these three opponents in headsup cash games for $500,000 each. Blinds are at $500/$1,000 and play goes on for 500 hands of holdem or until one player busts - whichever comes first.

"I am always excited to play my good friend Tom," said Ziigmund.

"He's one of the best holdem and PLO players in the world, and when I heard about the challenge I couldn't wait to sign up. With the gambling, the side-bets, the partying and the drinking in London, this is going to be a whole lot of fun."
