The 10K Challenge, episode 2

[Dunbar]

A few months ago, some guy from the 2+2 forums announced he would take up a propbet. He promised he could win $10.000 in one month by 24-tabling the 25NL fullring on Stars. He offered 2:5 action and got quite a few betters.
Somewhere in May he started.

The word spread to the Netherlands and some guy (TheLoon) announced the bet was too easy. He announced he would do the same thing, but then by 12-tabling the 25NL 6-max on Everest Poker. Some people thought this would be easier, some thought it would be harder but they all promised him a lot of action.

In the meantime, after 16 days and playing 266.620 hands, the 2+2 guy gave up. He was only up $3250 and he was breaking down quickly. HE just couldnt cope with the pressure and couldnt sleep anymore. Besides, 25NL seemed harder then it looked.

Everybody was convinced TheLoon would step back as well. The previous bet was only half way before the he gave up.
But TheLoon suprised everyone and announced he would still do it! Because Pokernews.nl promised they would broadcast the bet live from their mainpage the bet was set to start after the WSOP. Today the bet kicked off!

Loon is doing pretty good. He had one losing day ($-20) but re-evaluated his game and is one a huge heater. He even cut down on the tables, playing only 9 tables now.

After five days and 40.000 hands:

Wow, sick challenge there for the fact that he has to only play the 25NL but I hope he will do it just to prove that it's not impossible.
