For the first time in 11 matches, Phil Hellmuth won't appear on PokerGO's High Stakes Duel, a heads-up poker show. Instead, the fourth series of games will pit Daniel Negreanu against Eric Persson starting May 8.
Also for the first time, HSD will have an undercard with Mike "The Mouth" Matusow taking on a former rival, Shaun Deeb. Jason Koon, who defeated Hellmuth in a $1.6 million match on High Stakes Duel III in December, won't return.
