Tom "durrrr" Dwan vs Daniel "jungleman12" Cates Challenge To Start Soon
Published on August 17th, 2010 11:18 am EST
The first "durrrr Challenge" between Dwan and Patrik Antonius has not been completed as of yet, but given how rarely the two play, I don't think that "durrrr" will have any troubles handling two challenges at once.
The second "durrrr Challenge" became official yesterday after this chat occurred between the two participants on FTP:

In case you are wondering why Phil Ivey's name is being mentioned here - he is acting as escrow and will hold the money ($500k from "jungleman12", $1.5 million from "durrrr") until the challenge has been completed.

While the first "durrrr Challenge" has dragged on and on (1 1/2 years and counting if you can believe it), the second "durrrr Challenge" should be finished in a fraction of the time. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it were done by the time that the WSOPE gets under way in mid September. I don't think that we'll see too many sessions where one of the players quits after 50 hands (see first "durrrr Challenge"). I would expect that "durrrr" and "jungleman12" will play the required 50k hands fairly quickly..
"durrrr" or "jungleman12" - who you got?
