So, it’s anyone’s guess who will come out victorious. But, they’ve never faced off in a heads-up format.
On the felt, they’ve competed against each other hundreds of times in high-stakes cash games and tournaments, and have both appeared numerous times on popular televised shows such as Poker After Dark and High Stakes Poker. Still, they occasionally feud publicly, mostly over Hellmuth’s ego. Hellmuth even attended Negreanu’s wedding in 2019. The Poker Hall of Famers have a lengthy - and mostly cordial - relationship. Daniel Negreanu would like to teach a Masterclass in heads-up poker to Phil Hellmuth.
And it appears there’s some bad blood boiling between the competitors leading up to the match. The two poker superstars will soon face each other heads-up on PokerGo’s show, High Stakes Duel. Phil Hellmuth doesn’t think the younger GTO-minded pros are all that great compared to him, and Daniel Negreanu is fed up with the disrespect.
