Everything has its time. And the time for that challenge has long been passed. It is a relict from ancient times, before the shutdown of the US market, and the downfall of the original Full Tilt. We will see of those guys still find a room where they can play that high.

When I saw the headline I thought I had seen all this before and then I remembered about all the argument and allegations from Cates and others.I've not seen much of Dwan lately but I am sure if I was him I would be playing lucrative cash games against billionaires in Macau instead of playing online.

I really hope that they get to finish this challenge because i would really like to see who comes out on top. I think Daniel Cates would win but you never know how the cards will fall

funny agreements have to say... more pr than the real sh1t. actually even me, the famously known "manpochui", the dude who has ~350 days of bankroll state of $0 can actually challenge the worlds best poker players to a duel where i put a billion of my own cash against a dollar of theirs. we just have to play 100 play money hands at random poker room... though i will never complete more than 99 hands and i get to keep my beloved billion...
