Durrrr Challenge: Dwan vs jungleman12?

<img src="http://www.tlpoker.com.br/staff/Raidern/tomdwan.jpg" align="right" style="margin:5px; border:1px solid black;">The first Durrrr Challenge, which features Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonius in 50,000 neverending poker hands, is running since February 2009 and it seems like it's still far from over. Nevertheless, the young American is always looking to prove himself against of other players of his caliber and is even willing to lay unreasonable odds for that to happen.

Now Durrrr wants to set up a second challenge against jungleman12, an online pro whose identity is unknown. According to reports from highstakesdb, jungleman12, Dwan and Phil Ivey lead the list of biggest winners on Full Tilt Poker. Each one of them has profited at least $2,000,000 in cash.

durrrr: we could obv play in like 2 weeks

If this challenge actually takes place, then it's likely that it will follow the same rules as the ones of the Dwan vs Antonius challenge. That means they will play four tables heads-up with minimum blinds of $200/$400, NL Hold'em or Pot Limit Omaha. Durrr will put up $1.5 million to $500,000 from jungleman12, and whoever wins after the 50,000 hands are played, even if it's as marginal as $1, will walk away with the money. If a player is losing the challenge and feel he's had enough, he can just pay the bet and end the challenge.

On the current pace, Dwan would have to deal with two challenges at the same time. Like he stated in the chat, it doesn't seem like a huge deal, as he and Antonius have played only 62 sessions in these past 18 months. Durrrr leads that challenge by $1,844,430 after 38,974 hands.

The next days will tell us more about this possible challenge.

Haha, so PA has to win back 1.3 mil in 11k hands to win this thing. Think he'll just pay him off? Or just say fuck it and let it ride for the glory

$50,000 hands? Do you mean 50k hands?

This is true

well considering they've had several $1 million swings over 10k hands, it would be absolutely retarded for PA to buy out...it probably and should hopefully be finished up before the end of the year.

PA and durrrr have been playing it 100k deep recently. I wonder if durrrr will do the logical thing and finish the last 11k hands only 40k deep. Somehow I don't think he would.

With the current pace according to ftp site i doubt it will finish any time soon:

Last Session Session Start Time Apr 30 2010 21:13 ET Session End Time Apr 30 2010 21:30 ET Hands Played 83 Winner Durrrr Amount Won $335802

Doesn't have have to win back $1.8M, the 500k is what he'd pay if he lost.

I really hope they pick up the pace with this....

well jungleman and durrrr are true grinders, I think their challenge will finish in a reasonable time frame
