Cates Increases Lead to $1.2 Million in 'Durrrr Challenge'Gus Hansen Keeps on Winning |
|
Dan “jungleman12” Cates passed the $1 million mark this past week in his lead over Tom “durrrr” Dwan in Full Tilt Poker’s Durrrr Challenge. Cates, who was recently written about in the New York Times Magazine, picked up an additional $300,000 across two short sessions in the past seven days to bring his profits to $1,251,059 through nearly 20,000 hands.
With about 40 percent of the contest completed, the graph between the two competitors shows that it has been all Cates — aside from some minor hiccups:
Altogether, Cates and Dwan have wagered about $130 million at $200-$400 no-limit hold’em, and have logged more than 34 hours at the virtual felt in 19 separate sessions.
Over at the nosebleed pot-limit Omaha tables on Full Tilt Poker, Gus Hansen has been continuing his amazing upswing. The Danish pro added about $400,000 to his winnings over the past seven days, bringing his profits for 2011 to about $4.4 million.
Most of Hansen’s heavy action this past week came against Scott “URnotINdanger2” Palmer in a lengthy $500-$1,000 pot-limit Omaha session. Below is a screen shot of when Hansen had built up a mammoth $600,000 chip stack on one of their tables.
