One of the most impressive streaks in recent poker history came to an end at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas Wednesday evening. Phil Hellmuth, after seven straight wins on "High Stakes Duel," finally suffered a defeat as Tom Dwan busted the "Poker Brat" just like he did at the 2008 NBC Heads-Up Poker Championship — cracking pocket aces.
Back in 2008, Dwan was the up-and-coming hot shot known as "durrrr" on Full Tilt Poker. He cracked the 2007 Poker Hall of Fame inductee's pocket rockets with pocket tens in the first round of the 64-player televised heads-up poker tournament.
