What We Learned from Hellmuth vs. Negreanu Part II
3 Min read
Phil Hellmuth defeated Daniel Negreanu Wednesday night for the second straight time, and no one should be surprised by the outcome. That isn’t a knock on the game of “DNegs,” but more a compliment to how talented and underrated the “Poker Brat” is.

The $200,000 match on PokerGO’s “High Stakes Duel II” show lasted five hours. Both players battled and traded the lead 16 times throughout the session, a stark contrast from Round 1 in which Negreanu, who eventually lost, held the lead most of the night only to let it fade away late.
