Tom 'Durrrr' Dwan and Daniel 'Jungleman12' Cates had a busy day yesterday racking up 1,214 hands during a quick but extremely swingy two-hour session.
At the close of play Durrrr had managed to book a $63k win, huge for most mere mortals but only a small dent in his deficit in this current challenge. It could have been even better for Dwan who at one stage got within $200k of his rival before Cates again stretched his lead.Durrrr also reported technical difficulties which caused him to lose a pot of almost $35k. Dwan tweeted “Just had one of the most tilting hands of my life happen. Was playing JungleMan in the challenge and my internet cut out, so I checked behind the nuts in a spot where he would’ve 100% called with 2 pair for $34,683 more. So tilted.”With 14,190 hands of the Challenge completed, Durrrr's deficit now stands at around $500k, a marked improvement on his low point of minus $800k. We'll be hoping for more high stakes action at Full Tilt Poker over the weekend.Keep up to date with all the news from the poker world by following us on Twitter and Facebook.
