Jason Koon has stepped up to take the place of Scott Seiver, who backed out of a rematch, to face Phil Hellmuth on High Stakes Duel III for $1.6 million. However, the scheduled August 22 broadcast date has been changed at the request of the "Poker Brat," and an official date will be determined in the coming days.
Seiver lost in Round 4 — the $800,000 prize pool level — in May and agreed to a rematch.
