‘Durrrr’ is scored a victory against ‘jungleman12′ in the challenge
Completely unheard of the ‘durrrr Challenge’ has been meeting for two consecutive days this week and Tom Dwan has been the beneficiary, because he managed to shorten the distance to win in the most recent session of the challenge, as stated in Poker Listings .
This time the game was longer than usual. Dwan and Cates played 1,440 hands separated by a brief pause.
In the first part “durrrr” had its best finish since he began the challenge by winning $ 195,000 U.S. dollars , while the second part ‘jungleman12′ recovered $ 23,736 dollars, leaving the game four boxes below.
Two months have passed since ‘durrrr’ had a victory in the challenge and, after this result, has reduced the gap to $ 585,000 dollars with little more than 11,500 hands played . However, the game was not without certain problems ‘jungleman12′ left to see the chat.
It appears that Daniel Cates is quite upset with Dwan with the slow progress the challenge and for as short playing sessions, mainly due to ‘durrrr’ calls constantly breaks to eat or do anything else .
Even one of the requests for ‘durrrr’, Cates asked exactly how many minutes it would take “
Thus, after the last request to pause Dwan, this was the chat between two players:
durrrr: the food was
durrrr: maybe I bathe after
durrrr: but it should still be back soon
jungleman12: until then
durrrr: huh
Cates four tables left without saying anything. An attitude exaggerated or have some deep reason

The Big Game PokerStars is one of the most entertaining poker shows to see, either by the tantrums of Hellmuth or the eccentricities of Tony G , seems to always have something to talk.
The most recent was the case last week with Loose Cannon, David Fishman, a math teacher, who threw aces and kings preflop a few hands to finish the game .
David Fishman lived up to its name
For those who do not remember the rules of the Big Game, an amateur is sponsored by PokerStars $ 100,000 dollars and can only keep the profits it has achieved.
It turns out that Fishman had been a net earnings of $ 130,000 U.S. dollars when there were about thirty hands to end the session and then announced that he would devote to drop every hand preflop.
The funny thing is that in the hands following Fishman received pair of aces and pocket kings and it did not throw their cards in order to preserve their profits and also have the chance to win a ticket to all events NAPT’s second season.
Of course, Fishman actions have been widely reported in the forums and there are those who support his decision and those who simply say: “To win you have to bet.”
However, curiosity does not end here. While being “result-oriented” in poker is not healthy, it is possible that Fishman is satisfied all his life by abandoning his pocket aces, and if you do not believe, you can see the video below.

Full Tilt Poker meets the desire for ‘IHateJuice’
Last week we published a conversation between Phil Ivey and the anonymous German player ‘IHateJuice’ in which he asked Ivey to intercede for him and proposed to the Full Tilt creation Limit Hold’em tables with blinds 3.000/6.000 .
Although at the time the response was rather ironic Ivey on Monday fulfilled a desire to ‘IHateJuice’.
Earlier in the week appeared Limit Holdem table named ‘IHateJuice’ with a seat reserved for the German player and the blinds 3.000/6.000, currently the highest level offered by Full Tilt Poker.
At the moment there has been no action from ‘IHateJuice’ and Patrik Antonius and Phil Ivey , the two players who surely will not refuse to host a round table.
However, the table has been released by some regular as ‘O Fortuna PLS’, ‘Neo81′ and ‘KobeYard85′. Surely only a matter of time to begin to see how they fly dollars in this table.
The question is … How long does it take to add Full Tilt tables suggested 5.000/10.000 Ivey
