i'm a poker geek, so sorry for interrupting the draft, but dwan is unbelievable. for those of you that don't keep up with 2+2 and poker gossip, dwan just made one of the ballsiest (and possibly dumbest) bets of all time, that was accepted by David Benyamine, Phil Ivey, and Patrik Antonius.

The challenge was simple - "durrrr" was challenging anyone in the world to a heads-up contest. The challenge would involve four tables of heads-up NLHE or PLO at a minimum of $200/$400. The challenge would also involve a minimum of 50k hands. After completing the 50k hands, "durrrr" would give his opponent an additional $1.5 million dollars if his opponent managed to win at least one dollar in profit after rake. If "durrrr" won at least a dollar, then his opponent would have to give Dwan $500k. This is in addition to any money that might be won during the four-tabling challenge.

 

so for all of you who actually follow poker, this is going to be one of the most epic freaking challenges of all time. i think he's got an edge over degenyamine in nlhe, but db probably has the edge in plo. ivey, who knows, and i think durrrrrrrrr can take God.

I just read that today, pretty insane. I think Ivey probably has the best chance but obviously the other two are world class as well so who knows indeed. I would've been in this draft had I found out in time and I have to say there are some surprising selections.
