Sammy "Any 2" George is confirmed as Tom "durrrr" Dwan's first opponent in the durrrr Million Dollar Challenge in London in September. The London based businessman talked to CardPlayer Europe to comment on the upcoming match.

“I’m buzzing – what could be sweeter than playing in the world’s biggest heads-up match against Durrrr? I’m stepping up to the plate and putting my money where my mouth is," says George.

Sammy is already playing some psychological games with his opponent, as he continues, "My message to Tom is – paper cannot wrap up fire. With Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius, you are talking about guys I rate quite highly. Guys like durrrr to me are normal, you know, they’re nothing special.”

Sammy George is well known in British poker after appearing on The Big Game and Poker Million on television.

In the durrrr Million Dollar Challenge the challenger must bring $500,000 to the table and play at least 500 hands or until their money runs out. Tom Dwan will face up to 4 players in the challenge.
