Launching the "jungleman" challenge in Prague seemed kind of safe despite the fact that Prague was host to a serious poker festival that a lot of top players enjoyed. It was also enjoyed by a vast sea of amateurs and I was one of them qualifying through PartyPoker for a few dollars to play in the WPT Prague. That "vast sea of amateurs" is a great comfort to "junglemen" issuing a challenge like that because no amateur is going to take him up on that kind of money. Safe 
Thank you Tony G for stepping up and finding someone to meet "jungleman" and toss his arrogant carcass back into the jungle, lighter with the loss of the required thousands ... OR ... "jungleman" actually proves victorious. As an amateur either result is fine by me but to make the challenge in safe safe Prague is the safe as never issuing it.
It is also low enough to not be interesting to the likes of Phil Ivey or Daniel Negreanu, either of whom (for real money) would probably jump at the opportunity. The fans wait but thank you Tony G.
Maybe the solution is to put the match on chipmeup (the website) to bump up the money to the point where Phil Ivey starts looking interested.
