Saw this story online about Tow Dwan issuing a challenge to any poker player in the world in his attempt to prove he is the best. He's not there yet, but apparently Phil thinks he could be close.
Poker legend Phil Ivey, often considered the best player of all time, has stated that Dwan (who plays as ‘durrrr’ on Full Tilt Poker) is one player likely to succeed him. Now Dwan is apparently sharing those sentiments as he has issued a challenge to all comers.
“I’m making this heads-up challenge to the world. Anyone can accept. Four tables, minimum of $200/$400, and I’ll put up $1.5 million to their $500,000,” the young poker expert said in an interview with Bluff magazine. “We play 50,000 hands minimum and if they end up a dollar after rake they keep the side money or whatever. So basically, if you and I played and you won a dollar, you would get my $1.5 million and if I won a dollar I would win your $500,000.”
It'll be interesting to see if Phil Ivey takes him up on this challenge. On the one hand he's getting 3/1 on his money, on the other a loss to Dwan could mean a serious hit in his popularity. Not that something like that matters to Phil, but it could mean a hit on his bankroll. Which is serious business.
