Tom Dwan Challenged by Ilari Sahamies

Ilari Sahamies recently commented in his blog that he will be playing a $500,000 pot limit Omaha heads-up challenge against Tom Dwan. The challenge is expected to take place next week on the 17th or 18th of November in London.

The rules of the challenge are as follows: players are not allowed to quit until they have reached 500 hands or the minimum buy-in of $500,000 has been lost. The challenger gets to pick the game and since Sahamies is the challenger he chose PLO since he is a specialist in the game.

Sahamies commented in his blog: “it is a cool challenge, and it’s fun to play against a good friend of mine. I think durrrr is one of the best PLO-players in the world, maybe the top 3. I’ve been winning a lot lately and I have had a good feeling about poker lately, so if course I want to play against Tom. We agreed on the challenge today.”

“But I am actually looking forward to the after-party in Jalouse or some other cool night club more than the heads up.”
