Online Casino Poker Challenge
There are some in the land and online casino poker gambling industry who must be
shaking their heads this week because of the “durrr” $1 million Challenge. Tomm
Dwan, in a moment of either cockiness or confidence issued a challenge to the
whole of the online poker gambling industry – if the player was willing to put
up $500,000 to play Dwan in 50,000 hands of poker, they could walk away from the
situation as a millionaire. Skill in the online poker gambling industry comes
out as gamblers tee-off across thousands of hands. Studies have shown that
chance can play a strong role in the game in the short-term hands, but gamblers
who gamble across many hands are able to definitely exercise control over the
outcome based on their skill level.
Dwan, a land and online casino poker pro, issued forth the offer last month and
really didn’t have any takers until Antonius, another prominent poker pro in the
industry was willing to take the challenge and put up the cash. Antonius has
really surprised a lot of the industry because he is up – significantly up,
after playing more than 12,000 hands with Dwan. There is still a lot more poker
to be played between the two men, but at this point, even Antonius was surprised
by the fact that he is up $80,000.
The final outcome of this challenge will not be known for several months still
as the two land and online casino poker pros have had a hard time arranging
times to play that are good for both players involved. Right now, the playing
has been on a bit of a hiatus but, no worries, they are still playing and
participating in the million dollar poker challenge. |
