In 2024, Dan Cates, known as 'Jungleman,' took a break from high-stakes tournaments, recording only a single cash. Instead, he focused on personal projects such as his podcast and animation. Cates collaborates with animator Adam Peiken to bring his poker stories to life in a humorous South Park style. His inspiration comes from animated shows that convey deeper messages, and he looks forward to animating significant poker events, showcasing how storytelling can connect with people.
I actually want to animate a lot of things because I think it's a much better way of reaching out and connecting with people.
A lot of the cartoons and movies I like, especially my favorites like Dragon Ball Z and Pokémon, all have an underlying message.
I can't wait to see Bobby's Room animated, also my bracelet win in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship.
People wildly underestimate how interesting these events in history really are.
