Tom Dwan Backs Out of High Stakes Duel Rematch vs. Phil Hellmuth

Phil Hellmuth will have to dodge bullets, baby, against someone other than Tom Dwan during Round 4 of High Stakes Duel III on PokerGO, which was scheduled to take place Thursday.

Dwan, as PokerGO announced, has backed out of the $800,000 match due to "scheduling conflicts." But the "Poker Brat" can't quit and take his winnings just yet. He'll instead face a different opponent who must pay $400,000 for his or her half of the pot to get into the game.
