Dan “Jungleman” Cates is slated to be Phil Galfond’s next opponent in the Galfond Challenge. We answer your frequently asked questions.

Phil Galfond was handed another victory in his ongoing Galfond Challenges last month when Brandon Adams threw in the towel after only 2900 hands but $290,000 in loses plus a $100,000 side bet.
With Galfondโs fourth Galond Challenge victory in the books, attention turns to Galfondโs next challenge, which is rumored to be none other than Dan โJunglemanโ Cates.
The Jungleman vs Galfond match-up would arguably be the most anticipated match thus far. While Galfondโs previous opponents have been formidable, none have truly had the name recognition and expected prowess of Jungleman. Galfondโs previous victories in the Galfond Challenge have come against Venividi, ActionFreak, Chance Kornuth and Brandon Adams.
This wouldnโt be the first time that Cates was involved in a high-profile heads-up match. In fact, Jungleman was involved in one of the first โchallengeโ matches when he went head to head with Tom Dwan in the durrrr Challenge in 2010. Jungleman is up $1.2 million against Dwan while many wonder, including Cates, whether the match will ever finish.
