Phil Ivey confirms to take Durrr challenge

Phil Ivey confirms that he will take on his million-dollar online poker challenge along with David Benyamine and Patrick Antonius
Phill Ivey has come up like a solid answer to all those people who believed that nobody would dare to take the durrrr million dollar challenge. On PokerRoad Radio, he confirmed that he has already mentioned it to Tom "durrrr" Dwan that he is all set to go for his million-dollar online poker challenge. Also, he informed that Benyamine will be the fisrt to attempt the challenge while Antonius waits in the wings for a shot at it.
For your information, according to the durrrr challenge, Dwan is ready to put up $1.5 million to a challenger's $500,000 playing four tables at a time heads-up with least $200/$400 stakes.
The game is quite complicated as they all have to bear a minimum of 50,000 hands, and in case the challenger ends up with even a dollar more than where he started in the beginning of the match, he wins durrrr's $1.5 million. On the contrary, if durrrr wins, he will have the player's $500,000 including the amount they won while playing. Except for Phil Galfond, anyone can take this challenge.
Phil does acknowledge that admits durrrr will at the start have the edge as he tunes to playing four tables straight away, but he is primarily depending on durrrr not comprehending how many hands 50,000 hands really is. Thereby, he will get time to catch up and it is quite probable that someone will go penniless in this deadly challenge.
"You know what, the funny thing is he probably does have an edge," Ivey, on PokerRoad has said. "But you know, like, I don't know, it's just something tempting about that million and a half to that $500,000."
