LAS VEGAS, NV (November 29, 2022) — Phil Hellmuth and Jason Koon are set to compete in the largest High Stakes Duel match ever. On Wednesday, December 7, 2022, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT), Hellmuth and Koon will meet at the PokerGO® Studio in Las Vegas to battle in a $1,600,000 match.

The full Round 5 of High Stakes Duel 3 match will be broadcast exclusively on PokerGO on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT).

Hellmuth has been the king of High Stakes Duel since the show premiered in July 2020. The 16-time WSOP gold bracelet winner won his first High Stakes Duel championship belt when defeated Antonio Esfandiari in three straight rounds of High Stakes Duel I. Hellmuth then went on to defeat Daniel Negreanu in three straight rounds of High Stakes Duel II to wrap a second title belt around his waist.

Although the High Stakes Duel 3 championship belt is still up for grabs, Hellmuth has won three of the four rounds played to this point. He first beat sports media personality Nick Wright before losing the first of two rounds to Tom Dwan. Hellmuth returned to defeat Dwan in Round 3, then Hellmuth topped Scott Seiver in Round 4.

For Hellmuth, a victory in Round 5 means he’ll have the option to walk away with his third High Stakes Duel championship belt. Per the rules of PokerGO’s High Stakes Duel, the stakes double with each round and a player can walk away victorious if they win three consecutive matches prior to Round 4 or two consecutive matches starting with Round 4. A win in this round for Koon would push the competition to Round 6 with $3,200,000 at stake and Hellmuth having the first right to a rematch.
