Poker’s Brand New Trend – Personalised Million Dollar Poker Challenges By Bob Henry At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

The game of poker continues to evolve on almost a daily basis and this year the shift seems to be coming from the pros themselves who may be finding the big tournaments a bit of a bore these days.

A dearth of consummate heads-up combat

Online poker guru, Tom ‘Durrrr’ Dwan, is clearly fed up with the dearth of consummate heads-up combat online and has taken it upon himself to cast out one of the richest lures on the poker planet!

Dwan, who has a propensity to playing high stakes poker games online, and winning with surprising alacrity, has been so successful at his chosen profession that he seldom finds rivals out there who are prepared to take him on, and for good reason – to date the college dropout has allegedly banked close on $4 million in online winnings!

Dwan has issued a remarkable challenge to all other poker aficionados out there, or rather those with the proverbial balls and excess boodle to join in the hunt. He is willing to stake $1.5 million on the outcome of the epic clash, whereas all the other players need only put up $500 000!

A “Heads-up challenge to the world” worth $1.5 million

Dwan’s ‘Heads-up challenge to the world’ has already attracted some formidable foes, a move that will clearly elate a man who has effectively played himself right out of the league. Five time WSOP bracelet winner and the man tipped as the incumbent king of world poker, the fabulous Phil Ivey, was the first pro to snatch up the invitation.

Poker pundits are delighted with Ivey’s acceptance of the challenge and are backing him unequivocally to take Dwan out at his own game!

This uber-rich personalised poker promotion has also attracted the attention of two other exciting pros, Patrik Antonius and David Benyamine, so whatever the end result, there is sure to be some really expressive poker moves that will keep the legions of poker fans on the edge of their seats!

The naissance of a new poker trend?

The success of Dwan’s challenge could very well set up yet another trend in professional poker and we may well witness other poker legends setting up their own poker confrontations, funded by the players themselves.

We may already be witnessing the demise of big land-based and online tournaments as the professionals turn away from the events that have effectively been hijacked by the masses of amateur players in recent years.

The latest WSOP final table was first delayed by the network bosses in an effort to attract a bigger fan base and then turned into a veritable circus with fans shrieking their allegiance live during the final important hours!

It is a well known fact that many of the poker pros are not impressed with the latest tweaks to the greatest poker tournament on earth and this may well have prompted Dwan to take events into his own hands!

Only time will tell if this new trend in playing poker will grab the attention of poker players around the globe.
