Scott Seiver Replacing Tom Dwan as Phil Hellmuth's Next HSD Opponent

Tom Dwan backed out of Round 4 of High Stakes Duel III, leaving the seat open in the $800,000 match for a new challenger to face Phil Hellmuth. That individual, as PokerGO revealed on Friday, will be high-stakes legend Scott Seiver, who specializes in cash game poker but also has an impressive tournament resume.

The game will take place at 5 p.m. PT on Tuesday and will air exclusively on PokerGO. Dwan was original slated to compete in what would have been the rubber match of a three-game series.
