A Behind-the-Scenes Look at PokerGO’s Hellmuth vs. Esfandiari High Stakes Duel

To say it hasn’t been a good year for live poker would be an understatement. For the majority of the year, most poker rooms have been closed and live tournaments canceled, including the 2020 World Series of Poker, due to the pandemic. As a result, live poker on TV or live streams has suffered.

Despite the challenges, PokerGO has found a way to offer fans a new show – High Stakes Duel. Through two episodes or rounds, the show has proved to be quite popular amongst the poker community.

The rules are simple:

  • Players each post $50K for a Round 1 purse of $100K.
