In Round 4 of the High Stakes Duel, Phil Hellmuth battled last-minute opponent Scott Seiver for a staggering $800,000. This poker hand highlights exactly why Hellmuth should still be considered one of the greatest poker players ever.
Time and time again in these heads-up matches he has come from behind and defeated his opponents. Daniel Negreanu, Tom Dwan and Antonio Esfandiari have all felt the painful losses to the poker brat.
In this hand, Hellmuth goes into zoom-zoom mode on the river when he check-raise bluffs Seiver who has just hit a pair.
