Weekly Vote: Will jungleman12 win the durrrr Challenge?

Three sessions have already been played between Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Dan "jungleman12" Cates and we saw jungleman12 taking the lead with roughly $700k profit. Do you think he will go on to win the challenge?

As reported in a recent news item, both competitors completed close to 7,000 of the 50,000 hands needed for the challenge.

Challenger Dan "jungleman12" Cates came back from a $130k deficit after the first session, and managed to take the lead after three sessions.

He now leads with almost $700k profit, putting serious pressure on Dwan. The online poker legend is in for a hard time if he plans to come back from this.

We want to know if you think Cates has what it takes to come out on top at the end of the challenge. Share your opinion and opt for your favourite answer in our weekly vote:
