Phil Hellmuth was supposed to play Scott Seiver at High Stakes Duel 3 on August 22. The two players met earlier this year and Hellmuth who has had a fantastic run at High Stakes Duel shows got the better of Seiver and took home $800,000. Seiver had the option to rematch Hellmuth and agreed to play Hellmuth on August 22.
However, Seiver decided to pull out earlier this month and it meant that PokerGo had to quickly find a replacement to fill the August 22 date. PokerGo was unable to find a high stakes player that was free to face the Poker Brat on August 22.
Jason Koon To Face Hellmuth
PokerGo had a few players contact them more than willing to step in on behalf of Scott Seiver. PokerGo ended up shortlisting high stakes poker pro Jason Koon who is an ambassador for GGPoker as Phil Hellmuth’s new opponent. Koon is ranked 8th on the Hendon Mob’s All Time Money list and has over $38 million in prize money.
PokerGo is yet to confirm a date for Hellmuth vs. Koon at High Stakes Duel 3.
