Two-time defending champion Phil Hellmuth and Tom Dwan are set to square-off for $200,000 in Round 2 of High Stakes Duel III on Wednesday, August 25, at 8 p.m. ET exclusively on PokerGO.com.
Viewers will be treated to three different shows across the PokerGO.com platforms on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Hype Show returns on Tuesday with commentators Ali Nejad and Nick Schulman discussing everything about the upcoming $200,000 match between Hellmuth and Dwan. The show will be available on both PokerGO and PokerGO’s YouTube channel on Tuesday, August 24, at 8 p.m. ET.
Wednesday will have two shows for High Stakes Duel III viewers beginning with The Weigh-In where Nejad will speak to both Hellmuth and Dwan at 7:30 p.m. ET. Following the two players getting everything off their chest, they will sit down to battle at 8 p.m. ET where there will be $200,000 on the line in Round 2. The Weigh-In will only be available exclusively on PokerGO.com, while the Round 2 match will see a 60-minute preview on PokerGO’s YouTube channel while the entire match will be available on PokerGO.com.
Hellmuth has won seven consecutive High Stakes Duel matches against Antonio Esfandiari, and then Daniel Negreanu, and most recently Fox Sports 1’s Nick Wright. After sweeping Esfandiari and Negreanu, he cashed out the $400,000 prize pool on each occasion, before collecting the $100,000 prize pool against Wright. Now it’s Dwan’s turn to try and pump the brakes on this runaway freight train that is Hellmuth’s High Stakes Duel winning streak.
Both players have squared off on numerous occasions with their most noticeable being on the 2008 National Heads-Up Championship where Dwan cracked Hellmuth’s aces with pocket tens in the first round. Will Dwan be able to find that kind of luck this week, or will Hellmuth finally claim his revenge against durrrr?
The only way to find out is to watch High Stakes Duel III | Round 2 exclusively on PokerGO.com on Wednesday, August 25, at 8 p.m. ET.
