 yeah i think the fact it's such a laggy match has to have some warrant on Dwan being stuck 30 buy-ins.  But it does seem Dwan might have met his match.

Would like to see them play a few 100k hands then we'd really know.

Oh and Dwan is tilty but Isildur is also running hot. Things can change vastly if a few big pots go Dwan's way, and he can gain back momentum.

durrr lucky the guy didnt take durrr challenge lol

scarface_79:

durrr lucky didnt take durrr challenge lol

watson5j:

would this not have been at the 200/400 tables that are labeled durrr challenge?  or was it for any amount 200/400 min?

jtown1010:

Yeah he's Swedish and I guess if you live there you get raped for playing on non-Euro sites and anything Euro is tax-free?

I heard Durr just built a tilt room and ordered 50 watermelons for his next match against islidur. GG fruits

jtown1010:

Can we at least agree that both of these guys  are capable of adjusting and playing so aggro that a larger than normal sample size might be neccesary?

Tom Dwan issues live challenge to Isildur1

Tom Dwan wants online rival Isildur1 to play him live in London.

By PokerListings.com

The identity of recent online dominator Isildur1 will come to light next week if Tom "durrrr" Dwan has anything to say about it.

Dwan recently invited Isildur1 to play the live Full Tilt Poker Durrrr Million Dollar Challenge, which is scheduled to take place Nov. 17-19, 2009, in London.

The event, which is being organized by Matchroom Sport, will play out at the Les Ambassadeurs club in Mayfair.

"We have had some tough games over the last few days and the action just keeps on coming," said Dwan, who recently became a member of Team Full Tilt.

"I hope he can make it to London for the challenge so we can play some high stakes live games as well."

Isildur1 and Dwan have been battling at the highest stakes available online all week long and Isildur1 has proven to be a formidable opponent. As of Friday, Dwan was down over $3 million to the unknown online pro, who is rumored to be Swedish.

"The poker community seems to have stood still over the past few days to watch this epic online match-up between Tom and Isildur1," said Eddie Hearn, managing director of Matchroom Sport. "We are hoping he can come out from behind his avatar to be part of TV history in London."

The rules of the heads-up match are simple: blinds are $500/$1,000 and each player buys in for $500,000. Neither player can leave until they are broke or 500 hands are complete. Dwan's opponents will have the option to choose No-Limit Hold'em or Pot-Limit Hold'em.

There are already three players confirmed for the challenge. Aggressive Finn Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies will buy in, as will UK businessman Sammy "any two" George and online cash game whiz Marcello "Luckexpress" Marigiano.

"This is poker in its most raw form - two players battling it out for $1 million, mano-a-mano," said Hearn. "It doesn't get any bigger than this."

I_Luv_Wilco:

Seing as Isildur has crushed durrr over close to 40k hands now, and he made the offer to play anybody in the world (excluding Jman) in the promise that he would hand over 1.5m (sorry if this figure is wrong) if he was beat, would Isildur1 be entitled to this money now? I know he didn't accept Durrr's challenge directly but since he played that many hands against him, wouldn't this implie his intent to enter this agreement under contract law?

 This whole thing the last few days just seems more and more like a big set up.
