The format is simple: Dwan will play against each player for at least 500 hands and the games will be either No Limit Hold’em or Pot Limit Omaha.

Minimum buy-in is $500k and you can’t leave the table before you are bust or you have played 500 hands. Blinds will be $500/$1000.

Yesterday Dwan faced Marcelo Marigliano, who chose NLHE as the game they’ll play. Sammy George chose NLHE as his game as well.

People have speculated that only Ilari Sahamies will give Dwan a serious challenge. It was not a surprise that Sahamies chose PLO as the game for their heads up.

According to Poker News Daily, Sahamies told the orginisers that he is waiting eagerly to meet Dwan. There will be lots of sidebets, partying and drinking involved, so the players will have a good time.
