Still remember the durrrr Challenge? Well, Daniel "w00ki3z." Cates at least does and updated the challenge situation recently in a new interview.

According to Cates he is not sure what will happen to the challenge, but Tom "durrrr" Dwan has said he wants to complete it at some point.

"But he’s busy at the moment with some personal stuff, so I don’t know when.", Cates added.

Yesterday was the biggest day of online highstakes action we've seen at PokerStars for some time, with four players posting profits in excess of $100k. No doubt this increase in action had something to do with the remerging bankroll of Viktor "Isildur1" Blom, who, along with Ben "Sauce123" Sulsky, was one of the biggest winners of the day.

Railbird favourite Viktor "Isildur1" Blom put together his first six-figure win at PokerStars in over a month yesterday as he put a series of losses in March behind him to bring himseld back to even for the month with a $130.8k win from a single session at the $400/$800 8-Game tables yesterday afternoon.
