Tony g or Phil ivey should be next
Or send in another young wizard before the old vets
....then give him the final boss the man who has been waiting for Phil for awhile Tommy boy dwan
Thanks for the video! I really appreciate your work!
@PokerGO you really need to upgrade your commentators.
I REALLY appreciate that the commentators don't overtalk the tabletalk. Very nice to hear the tilt.
And Nick is the nuts best poker commentator ever
Totally agree with you
really? i cannot stand the voice
time of tilt?
Cough cough Big game
phil vs tony G, make it happen plz!
phil vs holz
Antonio vs antonius vs ant and dec
No way Tony g will mouth off volgar tube Phil a real game reader legend Phil Tony g shit just best mouth
Woww that would break the youtube
It would be the best
Best part of the show when phil says “im moving in if the ace doesnt come” meanwhile he checked in the dark before the river lol
Time stamp?
@@tanner6184 This, and none of the commentator's noticed..
Larry Underwood about 1:23:00
Larry Underwood maybe a little before
I also noticed, but further they talked about it, I think he meant he would have called with A high, not moved all in
"I'm not steamed up at all, I already know the future" lmaoo phil
it's funny how Antonio can be the voice of reason, then later turn EXACTLY into Phil.
Hahaha exactly luv em both
definitely a lot of ego on the line for Antonio considering he's said multiple times over the years that he would be willing to "take phil hellmuth anytime anywhere" it's great we finally got to see it happen
They're all exactly like phil, Phil's just honest
I think Antonio was acting like Phil on purpose :D
I love that Antonios’ dad is always with him when he plays poker! Ultimate support!
That's because his dad gets 15% of his winnings on the spot.
I am pretty sure he also loves his son.@@curthennig9448
After watching phil for years i have to begrudgingly say that i think he has improved in huge way, any likes if u agree? Not saying he has WHITE MAGIC atm but for sure is better?
He is a nit.
Improve in a huge way? The guy has more bracelets than anyone. He cant win all those just by being so bad and having a 'huge' room for improvement
He won a lot of bracelets during the fish era. Plus he has a bankroll so he has an advantage in tournaments.
@@masterboy7249 still I dont think he was that bad of a player that he 'improved hugely'
Helmuth is washed up.He can not play with these young kids.
Phil is such an underrated heads up player. Dude is other worldly in this vid
he’s one of the best
Other worldly lucky.
When Phil busted out the Sour Patch Kids immediately after the burger I was dying lol 🤣
When was this?
@@harshilshankar9995 I didn't mark the time, it was somewhere around 2 hours. The commentators were even roasting him about it lol
Finally found it thank you. It was worth the wait lol
So historical died laughing.
@@harshilshankar9995 the funniest part to me is the guy is 56 years old lolol
R.I.P MIKE SEXTON, such a shame, you will be missed far and wide in and out of the poker community, love to his family! A loss for the world, for sure xx
Damn, I didn't even know he passed away. Very sad :(
Absolutely, sad indeed. R.I.P. to one of the best poker minds in the industry. ♥️♠️
Darvin Moon died the same month. Very sad
Loved his commentary definitely elite
Best commentator this world has known.
In 2004, I saw a really interesting hand between these two guys. It was the last year the World Series of Poker was held at Binion's Horseshoe Casino downtown, when you could still easily be amongst the players, before it all moved to the Rio. I was 16 years old, sitting in the bleachers next to Phil Hellmuth's mom, wife, and sister (his "three queens" as he said). It was the $2,000 pot limit hold 'em event, and they were at the final table. I remember seeing Phil doing yoga in the corner during a break. Anyway, Phil was all in with two queens and Antonio had him covered with two jacks. The flop came J-8-5 all spades. Phil had the queen of spades, and a blank spade hit the turn, giving him the flush and the lead. But then, the river paired eights, giving Antonio the full house and the pot, busting out Phil in sixth place. Phil got up, shook Antonio's hand like a perfect gentleman, and walked away. No rants. There were no cameras. Antonio turned to the crowd. I flailed my arms in the air like a wave, which was his signature move at the time. He leaned back in his chair and waved back. He went on to win the event -- his first bracelet!
Great story!
He acts different in front of the cameras for sure.
@59:32 "Antonio is consistent in his pursuit for wide value". Such a diplomatic and professional sounding way to call someone a fish =)
you can tell they read the comments of last episode as they are clearly trying not to talk over the players.
Antonio keeps getting the vast majority of his chips in... utterly dominated -- and then claims Phil is lucky. The difference is that Phil can get away from good hands... Antonio is flatly incapable of that.
There wasn't one 'good' hand Phil got away from. Antonio was in really tough spots like 9s vs just one over card on the board and two pair over two pair. The best laydown Phil made was K9 when he had second pair and Antonio flopped a set of 10s (which is a pretty easy laydown when put all in given the pot odds).
Variance was definitely on Phil's side 🤷
@Marat V I'm still in the first half hour but Antonio his had AQ three times and hit trips on the river a couple hands after that interaction.
PLUS....He had Phil down to 53 with the stakes getting higher, all he had to do was play small ball and wait for a hand or 2. He chose o get it all in with 9-9, thus Phil went from 53 to 106 K. If he played small ball, got him down to 25 K or so he could have just moved on pre flop with KQs and KJs and pushed Phil around until he broke him. He had him, and then couldn't fold, lol.
@@jatinsablani5834 What about that fold at 28:18. or 1:57:20 ? Phil made some really good reads imo.
Jatin Sablani antonio is that you?
Gold.
After watching the first match, this one was a level up.
From card play to production value.
Hooked me on more.
Well done all.
One of the best things in poker is Esfandiari getting felted. Kudos to Phil he played great.
I've finally found it, Phil Hellmuth winning a match on youtube.
Lol same.
I typed phil on youtube. Twp things showed phil collins and phil hellmuth getting tilted by tony g
They are usually extremely biased against showing him win
@@markmulreany6477 i love phil. I think he doesnt get as much credit as he should. But hes a emotional player and its easy to see he gets tilted
Charlie Ryder fair but not one channel really shows his wins, just his losses which is unfair l. He’s one of the greats
I could watch these two play poker heads up all the time! They have the perfect chemistry and personalities that make it so funny and entertaining!
Excellent commentary guys - just the right balance of informed opinion, and knowing when to keep quiet to let the player chat be heard. Looking forward to the next match - thank you Poker Go!
All these comments “I see PH has finally improved !” He was always good, people just don’t like him cause of his attitude, but he’s a really good player and the results prove it.
"when your done talking I can make a comment" lmao
“Im moving in on the river if the Ace don’t come” phil hellmuth says when he checked blind before the card comes lol
haha, exactly. 1:14:22 if anyone is interested.
Absolutely hilarious, everyone has mask on yet they're passing around those chips all over the place scratching their balls and stuff
As long as you don't touch your face. Fingers don't get covid. Yes, Phil was eating a burger but he might have washed his hands.
@Clark Kent lol missed that, think it's from the interview room though or at home.
@Clark Kent Those are still maybe from another tournament
@Clark Kent I agree people are not careful enough in general and Phil was eating a burger mid session, might have washed his hands before though. Touching the mask with your hands is a definite no-no. But the thumbnail had nothing to do with it.
U can't catch it from touch, catch up
I've been waiting on this day for 56 days!
Hopefully 3 round will be played in the next 100 days..............hopefully.
Awesome series! I'd recommend getting them out faster so you don't lose interest.
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen
This is actual content. get all the legends back together
RIP Mr. Mike Sexton. Very sad and just happened sooooo fast. The man was obv a huge ambassador of poker and by all regards, a great man. Life is way too short so enjoy all!
Im sorry but Phill just has played better on both occasions
Yeah I agree. And some eerily spot on reads at times. It feels like Phil has some really good live reads on Antonio right now.
He played fantastic in my opinion in both matches and antonio played terrible. Phil deserved it. Phil was always ahead when all the money went in. Antonio has 2 outs then 2 outs then 7 outs
Anytime he bluffed it seemed to be the right time,rarely bluffed when anotonio had a hand.Made good folds aswell,antonio just cant fold medium hands in big pots whereas Phil can
When Phil bitched about the cutting 😂😂
"Phil is onto us. Douglas, Helmuth is onto us." 🤣😅
The difference is Phil isn't a calling station. Antonio can't ever lay down a medium hand to a big bet or check raise. Better to make a bad fold than a bad call
Antonio did fold trips to Phil’s raise in round 1
Actually, the way pot odds work in poker, this isn't really true at all. Calling on the river is often mathematically correct even if you expect to have the worst hand the majority of the time.
Credit to Phil though, he made some pretty big folds and was almost always right.
@@iamhorcruxer the one time he should have called
Blank. Folding is always 0 EV...
2:25:28 Even the Dealer had to laugh when Phil chewed on that Burger and these Sour Patch kids XD
Why do a lot of Americans think it’s “could care less”. That means the exact opposite of what you are trying to say..
True... it’s “I couldn’t care less”.🤣
Its not the opposite. 3 is not the opposite to 0.
Wasn't it originally said in a sarcastic manner, and now you just say it without such intonation
Kim Eriksson No. If you could care less about something it means you do care a bit.
If you couldn’t care less then you don’t care at all. It’s simple English.
@@Jedstop Yes, I think we are all in agreement about the literal meaning.
Here is what merriam-webster has to say: _There have been numerous theories about why people began to drop the negative particle, including sarcasm, lack of education, and that the phrase simply sounds better when omitting the not. We have no firm opinion on any of these, but would like to point out that uses of could care less with the negation given elsewhere in the sentence have been around for a fairly long time._
SO entertaining, thanks a lot. Can't wait until the next one.
Great show, thanks for putting this together
remember Doyle Brunson saying the hand he went broke with most was “bottom 2”
Rip Mike Sexton - excellent player & the best ever role model for younger players
Wow. I hope I get to watch the rest of it. Great job Phill.
Love watching these two! Great stuff
How was Phil going to ship it if the ace doesn’t come when he checked in the dark
man, literally, even if he did not say it, i will not believe him will call or shove
Yeah such a liar and an egomaniac.
Bc he's mfkn PHIL HELMUTH BABYYYYYY 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
I know I was thinking the same thing. How come Antonio didn’t say that he checked in the dark? Very strange
@@michaelmitchell7959 Antonio probably forgot because he would have definitely called him out on it if he remembered.
It's honestly crazy how contrast Phil is when it comes to a tourney versus a cash game!
#PokerBrat
Yeah different class, and he is deffo better lately
@@daverogers4195 its like a different person - he is aggressive, he is crazy and he knows the other player so well.
In a cash game, he is just like me.
Kartik Thapar 😂😂 I like that
The commentary matched up so well with the players this time. Well done!
wow good to see some poker with these guys again
Enjoyed this and the commentary was perfect. Now he's returning to the burger 😅🤣
Agreed - the commentary makes or breaks these games for sure! Phil’s lunch break 😂
I love how in games like this where hellmuth runs great he doesn’t mention a thing, but when he runs normally he’s all “I HaVE sUcH bAD luCk”
Been patiently waiting for round 2
Quite an entertaining and enjoyable match. Well done both gentlemen.
Thank you sir
1:15:20 Phil's play here actually gave me goosebumps. What a CALL!
Yeah I dont know. Then he says he had him on a straight draw but he was moving in if the A doesn't hit. Well if you have him on a straight draw, wich is air, why move him off his bluffs when you have A high. Phils reasoning is always wierd like that'
Antonio calls 11k with top 2 when Hellmuth flops the nut.
Hellmuth folds 2 pair when Antonio flops the nuts. You can really tell who is the better player.
If you think that is what makes a good player, you’re permanently invited to all home games I attend ever
but phil be the aggressor more times, so of course u gonna call him more unless he is lucky enough to get so many big hands which is basically what he does
liyexiang66 uhh
Maybe because they are playing chess not checkers
Phil is setting him up
Phil is clearly the better heads up player
@@39offsuit no, Phil is very good at 6 or 9 or more people tournaments. cash game or heads up he is the worst pro u can meet
@@liyexiang666 how can u say that when he is 2-0 up against antonio loll
Lol I love the banter everyone has. The players and the commentators.
Great content! Loving this
I'm a huge Esfandiari fan but when you spend two thirds of your time claiming how unlucky you are....you're being outplayed.
Hellmuth made the right play so many times. Antonio made the wrong play so many times.
Antonio was off ,I think he was scared.
This was EXTREMELY entertaining. I watched it all over the course of about a week. Has the next one came out yet?
You can watch all of High Stakes Duel on PokerGO.com
Much better commentary this episode. Good job guys.
The difference between a good player and a top pro is: Can you make that one hard fold? Or are you dared to be a non-believer in tough hands?
When Phil Helmuth is playing I always stand for him. His real fan I am. He is always so emotional and natural. And he often feels the game
Wow. Great game! Nice Rivalry between these two. Both player's believe they got eachother's number ;) ;) ;). Can't wait for Round 3
The legends that made this game!!
Great show, but please dont waste time showing us clips from episode 1 when great dialogue is happening.
hand of the match starts 1:16:15
1:20:39 phil - "i was moving in if the aces doesnt come". phil also checking the river dark :D what a joke he is, after the hands are over
When phill pulled out the sour patch kids I died lol
Oh I love these commentators. Loved.
nick "i havent seen a pot im not lookin to stir in a long time buddy" shulman
Listen people Phil did indeed check dark. He knew Antonio had nothing, his read was dead on. Antonio could only win with a bet & then Phil would've moved in. Get it? How you don't understand this is mind boggling
You trolling obviously right? It looks like your not but surely even noobs to poker know that antonio only bet sizing would be all in , so phil cant shove over his bet??? Not sure if troll or clueless noob that thinks others are clueless??? Genuinly hard to tell???
Haha bro you’re a joke
Lol. Obviously trolling. But truthflly Phil wasn't folding no matter what based on his strong read. Watch the hand again. The Ace gave 100% courage but he eventually would have called without it. Hell he called with J high based on his read.
Commentary is world class. Poker is world class. Well done.
"It can get weird out there sometimes" statement of the year.
i dont know what Phil Hellmuth has to do more in order to gain the respect from the world...he is not flashy or GTO guy but in live poker, he is so solid and hard to beat.
Phil folds. Antonio-"how does he know?"
this was one of the most entertaining heads up matches ever. Two great players and fantastic commentary, the banter between the players was great!
2:10:00 5 minutes of just beautiful audio, great pairing of comms and players
we need a rematch of these 2, so funny hahha
Rich successful men arguing over who is luckier. I love poker.
54 minutes in you get a clinic on the worst hand-shuffle ever recorded.
🤣🤣🤣🤣that is horrendous
lolz shuffles like my dog
I'm going to guess the cards have rfid chips in them and he isn't used to shuffling with those.
Keep in mind Hellmuth was badgering the dealer about his card handling. I’d be a little off too
The dealers were shocking poor antonio with 25k ish left gets dealt AQ and the useless dealer has miss dealt them, its 2 fukking people ffs how can they pick dealers that cant even deal heads up, earlier on in match she didnt realise there extra 1k in pot then went to give it to wrong person! Fukking shocking!
Both brilliant and entertaining
Wow i watched this whole thing. Awesome
damn phil got douglas shook that shuffle after he started complaining was looking rough
Why did they start with 300K in the first match and only 100K this time?
For the blinds...
Giddy Up... How did I ever miss this?
Ali my man I love how you going into the detail review for father’s office that it’s a great place but you can’t customize lol
15 Bracelets - Phil is just the best.
HE CHECKED IN THE DARK, this guy is just unbelievable, lying to comfort your own ego
IKR especially when Phil said he was 100% moving in on the river then say more than 50% like seriously? (That's a lie since u changed your story )
Phil’s lunch break!! Too funny. Then moving for the gummy’s 😂
Great game by both players
Phils lunch break cracked me up!
So what is the T-Shirt brand again?
I can´t find it.
phil its actually GOAT, for a cry baby or whatever you want to call him. I think hes the best to ever play the game. Stays consistent throughout each year. Poker adapts every day, the fact these guys stay on top is crazy. Congrats to phil for scooping today. completely out classing and out playing Antonio. Great poker demostrated
He's good but he aint the best. He aint even the best Phil to ever play lol You ever heard of Mr. Ivey
🐐HELLMUTH
Phil earned this win. Dominated compared to previous match. And yet I was rooting for Antonio both times
Where they get these dealers from?
My favorite moment:
Antonio: What do you get out of eating those sour patch kids? I mean i get the burger, but you're only getting 5 seconds of enjoyment in your mouth.
Phil: Well I get 25 seconds of enjoyment in my mouth..
49:40 dealer literally did not shuffle
He retried a few sec later
Good work Hellmuth, Antonio was Almost crying 😁
I’ve always been a fan of Helmuth (and Antonio) and I think he played really well here. But he was running crazy hot. Hitting hand after hand after hand.
How do their glasses not fog up? I take one breath with a mask on and cant see shit immediately.
Keep your lenses clean - trade secret.... if they still mist up then sorry to say they’re poor quality lenses, however if you keep them clean with good cleaning products they should be ok. I hope this helps in this time of face covering madness.
"pro fish" hahaha. Antonio outplayed once again
Got to 2:47 and didn’t know the result... damit. Haha. I like both players but the better player won on this occasion. And the previous game....
15:40 Phil stating he woulda moved in if the Ace didn't come, as he knew Antonio had a straight draw. He just forgot he checked blind before the river lol
Incredibly entertaining.
R.I.P MIKE SEXTON🙏🏼
Throughout the years Antonio has called out Hellmuth one on one.
And what happens? O-2
🐐Hellmuth
@slicer1028 2-0 Hellmuth.
It’s easy to argue Hellmuth is the better player, but two relatively shallow HU SnGs is not really the best sample size lol.
Antonio was dominating until Phil hits that 3 outer. If he didn’t hit that he would’ve been at 47k max
@@jjrumma6977 if....if....if..
You don't win with "if's"
2-0🐐 ♤♡◇♧ Hellmuth Jr.
@slicer1028 antonio got destroyed, get over it, he was sad as hell lol
The taser gun side bet would def make this more interesting
Is there any way to watch a Poker Go show without commentary? I appreciate the commentary but would rather listen to the players throughout.
