Jason Koon Benefits from Card Distribution and Dominates Hellmuth for $1.6m
jason koon phil hellmuthPhil Hellmuth dropped to 9-2 on PokerGO's High Stakes Duel show, losing the $1.6 million round to Jason Koon, who outplayed his opponent and also ran red hot.
The first match between the two poker stars Wednesday evening lasted less than three hours, shorter than most High Stakes Duel matches. Koon, making his first appearance on the heads-up poker show, was dominant and showed the poker world why he'll one day reach the Poker Hall of Fame.
Hellmuth didn't play his best against what some would argue was his toughest High Stakes Duel opponent. But he also couldn't catch a hand if his life depended on it.
