He also stated that international TV coverage for the even is a requirement. Last Friday, Tony G tweeted that he would like to battle Hellmuth heads-up for charity once it is safe to travel. Many assumed that he would be returning to poker, and that appears to be the case. At the time, he said that he didn’t feel he could bring about the change that was necessary in government. Over a month ago, Tony G resigned from his seat in the Lithuanian Parliament.

I view this as more of a coin flip than I do an edge for one player or another. In a tournament format, Negreanu doesn’t have quite the edge people are thinking and even with GTO strategy, Hellmuth will be more on equal footing. High Stakes Duel feeds into Hellmuth’s strengths, which is tournament poker. Personally, I don’t think Negreanu has as big of an edge in this match as people are thinking. Negreanu was a 4 to 1 underdog to Polk in the grudge match. This is drastically different than the battle with Polk. Betting odds have Negreanu somewhere around 2.5 to 1 to defeat Hellmuth. It will be a great challenge for me! Hoping I don’t look like THIS photo!! /EpE1BqRMWPĭespite this, many feel that Negreanu will have an edge over Hellmuth. Happy to play anyone on App’s “High Stakes Duel.” Looks like they are bringing me the GREAT Daniel Negreanu the guy that studied heads up for months w coaches I respect, so be it. Negreanu and Polk played multiple tables of heads-up NL Hold’em online where Hellmuth and Negreanu will battle against each other live. High Stakes Duel is a heads-up Sit and Go tournament rather than a poker cash game like what Polk and Negreanu played. Hellmuth later took to Twitter and announced that he and Negreanu will battle on PokerGO’s High Stakes Duel. This pissed Negreanu off, and he immediately challenged Hellmuth to a heads-up poker battle.

Daniel Negreanu to Battle Phil Hellmuth in High Stakes Duelįollowing Daniel Negreanu’s loss to Doug Polk in their epic grudge match, Phil Hellmuth stated that he was disappointed in Negreanu’s play.

The two have a bit of history and the battle would make for some fun TV. Tony G is also interested in taking on Hellmuth in a heads-up battle. However, Negreanu is not the only one gunning for Hellmuth. His sights are now firmly set on Phil Hellmuth for a heads-up showdown.

While some players would lick their wounds, it appears Negreanu is ready to bounce back. We all know that Daniel Negreanu got whooped to the tune of $1 million against Doug Polk.
