Durrrr Poker Challenge2 Ongoing...

Right now the second Durrrr Challenge is in full stream. Jungleman12, Daniel Cates stepped up to the Challenge and to the escrow. Unfortunately for Dwan, the player he goaded into playing is having the upper hand in the contes. But how did it get started. We have a couple of online chats thats give some insight of what got the candle lit. This time it will be straight Texas Hold'em poker with Pot Limit Omaha being forsaken.

Just as he did with Antonius (in the first still yet to be completed challenge) Dwan is offering up 3 to 1 action. Challengers must contribute 500k in escrow, while Durrrr puts up 1.5 million. The two will play 50,000 hands of No Limit Hold’Em or Pot Limit Omaha (which Cates has indicated he'll pass on) with blinds of 200/400 at at least four tables at one time. All profits in heads up play and kept, obviously, and the winner after 50k of hands gets all the money is escrow.

Currently, the first challenge has Tom Dwan up over 2 million dollars with more than 80% of the Challenge finished. It’s taken over a year and a half to play. Dwan has gone on the record as saying he’s up for playing more challenges at the same time.

The origin of the second challenge began with this conversation:

durrrr: y dont u take challenge
durrrr: since u never lose to me
jungleman12: i will prob
jungleman12: maybe
jungleman12: isnt bt next or something?
durrrr: i can do 2 at once
durrrr: ship ivey 500k n we will work out details
durrrr: get my aim from someone
jungleman12: ok
durrrr: i wanna crank out at least 2 of em before london if poss
jungleman12: ill talk to you over aim before doing it
durrrr: we could obv play in like 2 weeks
jungleman12: k
durrrr: kk gg

Dan Cates, didn't need too much persuading. Despite getting his start playing $0.25/$0.50 heads up cash games Cates has come a long way quickly, now he's playing the $200/$400 blinds of the Durrrr Challenge. Cates is super aggressive and obviously incredibly skilled. He already has students willing to pay him one to two thousand an hour.

The next conversation that preceded the challenge again involved Dwan pressing Cates to take it.

durrrr: did u send ivey $$ yet?
jungleman12: not yet
jungleman12: ill send now
jungleman12: how soon is soon?
durrrr: read ur phone…
jungleman12: ah i see
durrrr: few days at most
durrrr: did u send yet?
jungleman12: yeah
jungleman12: sent
durrrr: then i can start talking &&%%
durrrr: since we’re booked
jungleman12: ?
durrrr: and say that its cute u think u’ll ever have an edge =)
jungleman12: lol
jungleman12: you never seemed like the type
durrrr: never wanna scare off the fish =)
durrrr: but if they escrow….
durrrr: haha ok
durrrr: lmk if u wanna play if not we’ll start in a few days
durrrr: gl n stuff
jungleman12: u2

Wow, Dwan came out firing. This smacktalk hinted at a big things to come. For the most part the chatbox in the challenge which is almost 12 per cent completed has been a let down for people craving a verbal war as well as a raising war. For those thinking this was the antithesis of the Antonius challenge... and it started that way... the inactivity has to leave them disappointed.

The two fired off a couple of lengthy session, albeit without smack, but have since gone on a hiatus with travel much to blame.

Durrrr expressed an interest in wrapping things up before the before the World Series of Poker Europe tournament in London but it's been stalled for a couple of weeks. That's not necessarily a bad thing for Durrrr as he's started in a hole and might need some time to regroup.
