Dwan and Antonius Are Set To Play Today - "Dwan's Million Dollar Challenge"

Dwan and Antonius were talking on Full Tilt yesterday and they decided to start Dwan's Million Dollar Challenge on Monday (Today). They have decided on 4 tables headsup of $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha.


A lot of people thought the challenge may not happen after Dwan's downswing of $3.25 million dollar in January.

Here is the conversation they had;
