Hellmuth Authors Huge Comeback, Stuns Negreanu in 'High Stakes Duel'

After months of jawing, Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu finally met on the felt for a heads-up match for $100,000 in PokerGO's "High Stakes Duel."

And the wait proved to be worth it as they did not disappoint.

A lengthy, six-hour battle would see Negreanu go up huge. The needles flew as he pulled out a few props to rub some salt in the wounds he was opening on his longtime rival.

However, he failed to land a killing blow, and "The Poker Brat" clung to life with a few blinds.
