Jungleman12 VS durrrr

May 9th, 2010

Jungleman12 experienced what can only be deemed his “best day ever” at the online poker tables. On May 1st, he took down a staggering $1,054,288 over the span of around 8,700 hands. While taking down a Million in a single day is not that big of a deal to some pros such as Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan aka durrrr, it is still a newsworthy event. However, the impressive part of this feat isn’t the fact that he won over $1 Million, but the fact he took over $600,000 of that win from Tom Dwan.

The game of choice for these two was $200-$400 Heads-Up NL Holdem. The two started with four tables and then moved on to six tables. The two moved tables during the session and in total the duo played on nine total tables.

The first two tables, Alaqua and Loleta were good to Dwan. He took down a combined $600,000 from the two. About $250,000 of that came off of two hands. The first table hand saw durrrr check-call bets on the flop, turn, and river from Jungleman12. Jungleman12 had flopped top pair with As-Js and durrrr called on the flop with 9c-8s for a gutshot straight draw. He hit his draw on the turn. At the river, Jungleman12 moved all-in and durrrr called to take the $105k pot and stack Jungleman12.

The next hand saw both go to a flop of 2h-3h-4s. Durrrr held Jd-5d for an open-ended straight draw and Jungleman12 held Ah-Qd for the gutshot wheel draw. Durrrr raised a $2,000 bet to $6,400 and jungleman12 called. The turn fell the Jc to give durrrr the lead. Jungleman12 bet out $12,400 and durrr flat called. On the river 2s, durrrr checked to Jungleman12, who moved all-in for $42,194. Durrrr made the call with his pair of jacks and took down the $124k pot to stack jungleman12 yet again.

Durrr probably had wished that these were the only tables that he played at because out of the nine tables, those two were the only ones he won at. To say that he got his virtual tail handed to him was an understatement.

Menagerie $94,088.25 over 167 hands

The largest pot of the session resulted in a $169k pot on Spinal. Dwan three-bet with Qh-10c pre-flop and jungleman12 called with pocket eights. On a flop of 3d-Kh-8c, jungleman12 checked-called an $8,800 bet from Dwan. The turn fell the Ac and jungleman12 again check-called a $17,400 bet from Dwan. The river fell the 7c and jungleman12 once again checked to Dwan. This time durrrr moved all-in for $45,898.50 and jungleman12 made the call. Jungleman12 showed his set of eights and durrr’s bluff resulted in a $169,596.50
