Phil Hellmuth vs Daniel Negreanu Final Showdown Highlights! | High Stakes Duel II

[@VMT-Batman]

phil actually played unbelievably well here. i’ll be honest it’s refreshing seeing him like this rather than rage montages

[@harold7792]

The problem is that he knows the viewer ratings go up with his "rage montages." The increased ratings have encouraged him to be more of a brat, and to live up to that nickname. It has encouraged him to act even more like a 9-year-old girl.

[@lyubomirkaradzhov165]

@@harold7792 I really didn't like Phil before, but seeing he is actually a decent guy and beating Daniel 3 times in a row... my mind has changed.

[@harold7792]

@@lyubomirkaradzhov165 All the pro poker players say that Phil is a great guy off the felt, and they all like him. In terms of on the felt, I don't think the top pro poker players mind him either, because they just know how he is. It's entertaining for them to try to get Hellmuth on tilt, because sometimes it's really easy to, and primarily because it's funny to see him act like a 9-year-old. I believe that he's a great guy off the felt. It's only that, for me personally, I'll never get along with him at a poker table because I think he acts immaturely, and he's definitely way out of line whenever he insults someone at the table. I just can't respect a guy when he does that.

He doesn’t react nearly as much as you see on TV. You can make anyone look bad or good on TV. Half the time they don’t even show when donks needle Phil continuously.

[@Djdkdkdndkzn1]

Him going all in on the big game with a set vs top pair with no draws on flop, running it 4 times and losing 3 out of 4 times was the Worst beat ever. Set, Runner runner straight, runner runner flush..

[@mydogniko]

@@Djdkdkdndkzn1 that was so sick especially since the guy was a donk and didn't really know what he was doing. He's definitely the annoying fish you think you want at your home game until he starts hitting all his bs. So hard to play against someone who has no range and is running hot. But yeah losing that 3 out of 4 when he was so far ahead has to be the worst beat ever. Especially bc everyone at the table was needling Phil so hard. Even though it was one of those situations where you're too stunned to react bc the near impossible happened I think I would of lost it.

What choice did Daniel have... Can't talk smack then get walked and then talk smack... He had Zero choice but to B Classy.

[@raptorduck8785]

He knew he played very bad most of the hands, but end up winning those thanks to pure luck... Like he got 3 runners in one hand, and 4 runners in the next one, and was dead when Phil got the Q pair, but Daniel got his 13% out with the K and also won that hand.

This is a classic case of DNegs thinking that he is better than PH. Daniel is a “ legend in his own mind”. He will never be as good as PH no matter how much theory he plays and studies. DNegs is a great player and moneymaker, but he will never be as good as PH. Fact !!!

[@Sunline2002]

I have never liked Phil's attitude when he's losing at times. But he played very well & there is a reason he is the one of the world's best players. Was interesting to watch. Thanks for the video 😀🤟

[@robertadams305]

most important question is: how does Ali not know what "get jiggy wit it" means? i've lost all respect for him (what little i had left)

[@casper5379]

He knows what it means he just didn't understand how it relates to poker

[@robertadams305]

@@casper5379 sure Ali, sure

[@thehungrychef275]

@@casper5379 he started with going home with 83, and doesn't understand jiggy with it? Yeah sure Ali.

[@tombuckley1894]

Nice to see both of them acting like professionals. As VMT-Batman says, it's refreshing to see this level of play between two of the best -- without rancor.

[@Shshshshshhshhs]

God Maria Ho was a serious downgrade from Nick Schulman. Nick is seriously better at breaking down the matches and he + Ali also had a great chemistry. Not to mention Nick is a far more accomplished player as well. Also Maria Ho is close friends with Daniel IRL and did not even attempt to hide the fact that she was completely biased. Makes me feel better that she had to watch Phil eat him for breakfast though.

Both of my favorite players going head to head awesome game guys

Damn hellmuth outplayed the shit out of Daniel on that Q3 99 hand

[@maximo6037]

Yup. Made him look like a fish. Big mistake not 4 betting preflop

[@jonathanhenderson9422]

Nah, it's just a terrible flop/board for 99. Hellmuth is not going to have many 3s in his range, and on the turn there are a crap-ton of draws and pair+draws out there. 9's are good against most of Hellmuth's range. It's close, but I think Daniel made the right call long-term. Maybe the biggest pause is simply how often Phil is semi-bluffing there VS showing up with a straight/trips even with his "cold" range leaning towards the draws/pair+draws. Despite Phil's 83s hand Daniel knows Phil's bluff frequency (especially big bluff frequency) is lower than GTO would dictate.

[@davidbogossian2583]

That's gotta be one of the best looking deck of cards I've seen in a while. Very beautiful

[@c.s.mcleod7383]

Playing time card was sign of weakness Daniel!

[@Nebo600]

WOW that was the best I’ve EVER seen Phil play. Unbelievable!!!

[@catac83]

the calling station negreanu calls all in on the turn on a paired board with a possible straight with a small overpair, what else is new

[@dstar91]

agreed, bet-calling after being raised on the flop is the absolute worst thing he could have done

[@philknight0078]

When Phil stays calm and focused and doesn't lose it he plays really well 👏 but he def respects Daniel as a player too you can tell, which was probably why he didn't rage much

[@d1grizz]

Daniel has lost his mojo. He's just a front man now.

[@dalekooper5465]

It's all that new dark hair he bought....

[@jamiecook4288]

Go take him on then. Losing to Phil 3-0 is not bad. Hellmuth is a head to head monster.

[@JohnJones-yk5qk]

He’s been like this for years
