Online qualification begins Saturday February 26th. Players will need to win their way through a series of three consecutive challenges across a variety of poker disciplines. The lucky survivor who completes all three will play Dwan in four heads-up sit & go’s at once. Winning one match wins you $10,000, winning two is worth $25,000, winning three wins you $100,000 and if you take all four you’ll make a whopping $1.5 million.

Zimba analysis:
The challenge seems to be in response to the fourth edition of the PokerStars Superstar showdown where instead of another high stakes player, online qualifier DodgyFish72 passed a number of challenges to qualify to be staked $15,000 and have the right to take on Team PokerStars Pro Viktor "Isildur1" Blom.
I suppose this is an effort to generate more activity in the challenge qualifiers, but I see little chance for anyone to beat Dwan in four straight heads-up matches.
I find it odd that Full Tilt would establish a new challenge involving Dwan when they can't seem to spur him to complete his two year old challenge with Patrik Antonius or the more recent second challenge with Dan "jungleman12" Cates.
