Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Patrik Antonius decided to skip a day in the durrrr Challenge as of 2 p.m. ET today.

But there's still news for those fervently following the match.

Three new durrrr tables were added in the Full Tilt lobby including a $500/$1,000 Six-Max No-Limit, a $500/$1,000 6-Max HA and a $500/$1,000 Heads-Up Pot-Limit Omaha.

The tables are apparently not a part of the challenge, as each one is simply called "durrrr" with the table game and stakes.

There has been speculation that Dwan will be made an official member of Team Full Tilt if he somehow manages to beat Patrik Antonius and Phil Ivey, but now many are theorizing that FTP could make durrrr a member of the team as soon as this week.

Of course, Full Tilt could just be trying to cash in on the massive publicity surrounding the durrrr Challenge.

Update: There appears to be a time set for the next round of the durrrr Challenge. The update comes via the FTP chatbox:

"Patrik Antonius: tom lets play tomorrow around same time?
durrrr: ya sounds good, long as theres not a ton of 500/1k
running
durrrr: i obv would rather 4 tbl 500/1
Patrik Antonius: deal
Dealer: durrrr has 15 seconds left to act
Patrik Antonius: gl cya
durrrr: than 2/4
durrrr: cya"

If they play the same time as the first round, that would mean action will kick off at approximately 7 a.m. ET tomorrow (Feb. 20). Be sure to visit PokerListings.com for an exclusive recap of every session.

    pretty sure he didnt buy the tables with iron man medals, obv full tilt have taken advantage of the challnege and given him a few tables at nosebleed stakes to get more action/publicity
