Having already beaten Antonio Esfandiari in three matches and doled out the same punishment to long-time frenemy Daniel Negreanu, Hellmuth only lost one match in High Stakes Duel III before facing Koon, to Tom Dwan, winning the rematch to stay in the game.
With 100 investors each taking a piece of Koon on the Pocket Fives staking platform, it was a win for Team Koon as Hellmuth finally lost a pivotal game in the High Stakes Duel format.
The long-awaited match-up between Phil Hellmuth and his latest challenger is in the books and after a dominant performance, West Virginian high roller Jason Koon got the better of the Poker Brat to win $1.6 million.
