Tom “durrrr” Dwan is one of the best online poker players in the world, and he will play anyone for any amount of money. He has challenged all poker players around the world and only a few have accepted his challenge; Phil Hellmuth had a chance to play against durrrr in the 2008 Heads-Up Championship and durrrr’s aggression at the table took Phil out of the tournament on the third hand they played. After that Phil insulted his opponent and durrrr challenged him to play again but Phil refused to play him.
