Jungleman12 VS Durrrr
Posted by Poker Videos on August 5th, 2010A year and a half ago, Tom Dwan “durrrr” issued a challenge to the poker world known as the Million Dollar Challenge. Patrik Antonius was the first person to accept the challenge and the first match is still underway between the two. That has not stopped online poker sensation “jungleman12″ from stepping up to take part in the challenge. The proposal was made during a $100-$200 NL game between the two. This is how the conversation went down:
durrrr: ok gg
jungleman12: gg
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
durrrr: gl
Jungleman12 would make a strong challenger for durrrr in this challenge. He has won over $2 Million in winnings in cash games on Full Tilt Poker. Of course, Dwan likes his chances in the Million Dollar Challenge format. He stated, “I think all of them actually are better over-all poker players than me — by quite a bit; I happen to think in this one area, I might have a little edge — and we’ll see if I do.”
Essentially, anyone that plays the challenge must play four handed of either NL Holdem or PL Omaha for a total of 50,000 hands. If they are ahead of durrrr at the end of the challenge, they will receive $1.5 Million in cash. If they lose, they must pay durrrr $500,000. This is above any money they win against durrrr. At present, durrrr leads Patrik Antonius in the first edition of the challenge by over $2 Million after 39,436 hands.
As he hinted during the chat with jungleman12, durrrr is considering doing multiple challenges at the same time. Brian Townsend is in line to be one of the next players to take on Dwan, but we may see two players take a crack at the same time.
Of course, at the rate that the first challenge has went down, it may be a while before we find out who will win the next challenge. We may find out sometime around 2014.
