Tom "durrrr" Dwan vs Daniel "jungleman12" Cates Challenge To Start Soon
Published on August 17th, 2010 11:18 am EST
The second "durrrr Challenge" (Tom "durrrr" Dwan vs Daniel "jungleman12" Cates) is set to get underway over the next couple of days. 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:

jungleman12: not yet
jungleman12: ill send now

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?
