Jungleman high stakes game gets underway in Prague
Daniel "jungleman12" Cates €100,000 heads-up challenge never took off, but this hasn't kept the organizers from the PokerFarm from setting up a bit of high stakes action in Prague.
In the absence of qualified challengers to Cates' challenge, The PokerFarm instead decided to host a high stakes cash games with blinds of €50/€100 and a minimum buy-in of €10,000.
The game is set to be live streamed on both the WPT website and ThePokerFarm.com, and will see a number of well-known pro players take on Cates at the table.
Among those who will be playing are Luke "FullFlush" Schwartz, November Niner Eoghan O'Dea, German pro Tobias Reinkemeier, Danish PLO expert Alexander "AlexKP" Petersen, Scott Baumstein and Phillip Gruissem.
Additionally, "jungleman12" will also face Czech businessman Jan Barta, an entrepreneur with a taste for high stakes poker.
"We would have loved to have found a challenger to face Jungleman heads-up but nevertheless this cash game promises to bring as much, if not, more action for the poker community to watch," a spokesperson from the PokerFarm said.
"Some great names are set to be involved and if anyone decides to take Jungleman up on his heads-up offer at a later date we are sure he will not back down. As for the stakes for the cash game – it will start either at 50/100 or 100/20 – we are going to let the players decide," the spokesperson added.
Other names are reported to be on a waiting list for the game, as well there are rumors of some large PLO games running too.

Does anyone think this cash game will come anywhere near the macau games in terms or money or star power? Has their been any word if those side plo game will be broadcast live also? Im sure Jungleman will come out a huge winner from these games while some of the bigger star in the cash game scene is else where.
