Although Daniel \u2018Jungleman\u2019 Cates\u2019 is in town for the PartyPoker Premier League VI, he\u2019s still very much got the Durrrr Challenge against Tom Dwan on his mind. \u201cTom is very difficult to deal with in regards to the challenge,\u201d he says calmly. \u201cI feel bad debasing him or anything, but he\u2019s clearly not incentivized to completing the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s Just Not Cooperating At All<\/h3>\n

That might be to do with the fact that in the terms of the challenge if Dwan is ahead by $1 or more, his opponent must fork over $500,000. But, if Dwan’s opponent is ahead by $1 or more, the youngster has to pay $1.5 million. The challenge is over 50,000 hands, just 19,335 have been played and Jungleman is up $1,251,059. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t really care about it at all. It\u2019s clear he\u2019s going to lose too.,\u201d adds Cates. \u201cIt makes sense for him not to finish it but I want to finish it, or get him to resign or whatever. But he\u2019s not even playing it, it\u2019s crazy, I don\u2019t know if it\u2019ll ever finish, he\u2019s just not cooperating at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Going live?<\/h3>\n

The challenge whilst still active has stalled and Cates has a novel idea for how it could be resurrected. The last hand we played in it was 2011, it\u2019d take a really long time to play it live, but we could play some of it live, that\u2019s an interesting idea.<\/p>\n
