By visiting the archives of PokerCollectif, we found that it is April 27, 2010 that we you had talked about it for the first time: Tom Dwan, after having undertaken a challenge against Patrik Antonius, that he had not finished, had defied jungleman12 (Daniel Cates) for what would become the Durrrr Challenge 2.
As a reminder, 2 players were playing a variant of the choice of jungleman12 50,000 hands. If Dwan was winning $ 1 and at the end of this duel, Daniel should give him $ 500,000. If Daniel was winner at the end of this duel $1 and more, he would offer a purse of 1, 5 M$ on the part of durrrr.
Of course, times are changing and it is not today that Tom Dwan would have challenged Daniel Cates, known as one of the best heads up Hold'em players ' no limit. But as it takes its commitments, Dwan will continue this challenge that drags for already too long.
A little more than 30 months later, Daniel Cates has just sent a Tweet to Dwan asking him when the challenge would continue: "Would you like to continue our challenge instead of compete against all other players in any variant on Full Tilt Poker"?
Then, a few tweets followed on questions of who has how much money to whom, but the main message was passed and the challenge should start within the next two weeks according to Daniel Cates (in an interview with HighStakesDB). Must just 2 players have enough money online to play, but once this formality is set, the challenge will finally end.
Recall that the challenge between Antonius and Dwan is still not finished, 4 years later. The chances are that 2 players have already taken a monetary agreement to put an end to this challenge.
PokerCollectif will inform you in time and place when the challenge will begin! Daniel already has a wide lead over Dwan who would have probably liked never started this challenge.
In the meantime, discuss this news on our forums: Durrrr Challenge 2: we take action in 2 weeks?
