Revenge

Until Tom Dwan accepted the challenge, Phil Hellmuth was an impressive 7-0 up in all of his High Stakes Duel matches. 3-0 against both Antonio Esfandiari and Daniel Negreanu put off many from stepping up to face the “Poker Brat.”

ESPN commentator Nick Wright was next up in Round 1 of the third challenge, but he also couldn’t match Hellmuth.

Then Tom Dwan gave the fans a shot in the arm by picking up the gauntlet for Round 2 after Wright declined to continue.

Dwan won the first confrontation, ruining Hellmuth’s perfect record, but a rematch was agreed soon after.

This time around, Hellmuth got his revenge to set the score at one-all, and again the rematch was quickly agreed.

So, all eyes will be on the PokerGO studio in a little under two weeks. Can Hellmuth improve his 8-1 High Stakes Duel record, or will Tom Dwan reassert himself?

This is only Round 4 of a battle that can potentially go as long as eight rounds where an eye-watering $12,800,000 will be sat in the middle for the winner.

We look forward to seeing how this match goes.
