This is
big news in the poker world. Young online phenom Tom Dwan has challenged all comers to play him heads-up, at least four tables at a time, for a minimum of 200/400 blinds. They must play at least 50,000 hands. If Dwan loses money, he has promised to pay his opponent 1.5 million dollars (on top of whatever he's already lost). If Dwan wins, he gets 500,000$ from his opponent.
Patrik Antonius and Phil Ivey have already accepted.
Should be interesting. For those of you who have real lives and jobs, 50,000 hands is a massive massive amount--even four-tabling. It should take months. Given those stakes, someone could lose 3 million easy, independent of the side action.
You can read a long debate about it(and some clarifications)
here.

If you are a United States player, you have been waiting for a legal website you could join. There are pokers rooms opening up all the time that will let American players join. If you are looking to play legal US online pokers, just know that it is starting to become easier to find poker rooms to accept you.
