Before 2018 ended, poker pro Dan ‘Jungleman' Cates called out Tom ‘durrrr' Dwan through Twitter, asking the high-stakes poker pro when to resume their long-stagnant "Durrrr Challenge".
Of course, given that the former Full Tilt Poker ambassador has not touched his Twitter account since July 2018, many are not expecting him to answer so soon. Those who follow him would believe that D[...] Read more » Dan ‘Jungleman' Cates calls out Tom Dwan on resuming the ‘durrrr Challenge'

I would like to see them continue this but i do not think it is going to happen. Give credit to Tom Dwan though, he did pay him a $700,000 penalty for not completing the challenge which was very fair in my opinion

Nice try. But i have my doubts if there will be a continuation of that challenge. Too much time has passed without any play in the last few years, and Dwan doesn't seem to have any interest to play it any longer. It runs for nearly ten years now, and less than have of the hands are played, just let it rest in peace.

I believe also that this challenge is not going to happen again, or resume if you like. It has been too long with it. And if he was interested in continuing the whole thing, he wouldnt have got a penalty paying the huge amount of 700k USD. There are many interesting thing going on in poker world right now, that this is not something will be missed in the first place.

Tom Dwan could accept the continuation of this challenge but my question is: Tom has a good financial situation to continue the duel with Dan Cates or not? Some news says about him that he went bankrupt in Asia. It would be nice to come back to see the end of this race, but we can not predict the future.
The real answer to this is that durrr is a prisoner of the Chinese triad And until it works out all the debts will grind in a very muddy institutions of Macau And funny and sad... Both for him and his fans

yes this is interesting situation, I not very good understand why tom dwan pays the penalty but it is business for these two players and they make situation clear to them talk and if they want they play again if not and it look to me that it is bigger chance they not play this challenge no more.

Tom Dwan had returned from Asia last year in 2017 and a professional poker player said about Tom that: he has lost a pot of $ 20 million in Macau. It is possible like Tom not to paid a part of the debt. If the one who launched these bad rumors, told the truth, then it is bad for Durrrr. I hope this is not true.

That challenge was interesting but from my point of view I do not think I will continue it for the very long period of inactivity of Dwan, let's wait and see if he comments.
