The 15-time WSOP Champion Phil Hellmuth has done it yet again in a high-profile heads-up match after winning the $100,000 prize pool against Nick Wright in Round 1 of the High Stakes Duel III at the PokerGO Studio at the ARIA Resort & Casino.
Hellmuth shed his image as the underdog that he held for the first two High Stakes Duel match-ups as for this match Hellmuth was favored against Wright, who is known more as one of the hosts of the Fox Sports 1’s First Things First show rather than for his poker prowess.
