Tom 'Durrrr' Dwan is the protagonist of the  'durrrr' challenge and he has a new opponent in the 50,000 hands poker challenge, Jungleman12. In the 'Durrrr' challenge the big poker pros literally play for millions of dollars and sometimes hands are played for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

 

The first opponent in the 'Durrrr' challenge was the online poker pro Patrick Antonius, it was less spectacular than originally thought. Daniel "jungleman12" Cates recently announced that he would accept the online poker challenge. The challenge has started and jungleman12 seems to be a good opponent for Dwan, last week they played their second session in which jungleman12 increased his lead on Dwan. In the session of 90 minutes and 958 hands jungleman12 won $ 172.954 from Dwan and increased the overall lead on Dwan to $ 692.400. Cates won an average of 25 big blinds per 100 hands, he has played 6820 hands. Dwan loss would be worse if he did not win the biggest poker pot of the session.

 

Dwan responded nonchalantly afterwards and just said "Meh, GG" when he logged out. Though the win ratio of Cates seems unsustainable, but Dwan may have met his match.

Gus Hansen started last week in a ok fashion. He was up $437.000 in the 2000/4000 Limit Omaha 8-game and was doing ok. In the other high stakes games Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan were up in big amounts. Phil Ivey had won $530.000 and Dwan took home $425.000.

For Gus Hansen things started to go bad on Sunday. he lost 1,1 million dollar in just 2100 hands. The winners were Cole South and Phil Ivey. The strange thing was he lost it all in Limit Poker. The games were Limit 7-game and the Omaha 8 game.

Hansen has not been seen after this loss and the rumours are that he's broke. he lost already more then 11 million dollar in his online poker life.
