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

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.

@@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.

@@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 is up there with the best poker players of all time

Finally his style is turning alot more unpredictable

Aren't we all

He has the most bracelets of all time

@@TooChillery he also has the most tantrums of all time

@@voltz8945 On youtube you will only find those kind of clips cause is funnier, but if you see 100 videos of Phil losing and raging that means there are 10000 where he wins.

@@voltz8945 ad hominem

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

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.

You think so? He was disrespectful waiting on the diamond, and when he stood up to shake the hand before the final card came out. Not very classy.

​@@raptorduck8785😊😊

That’s why he’s my favourite

Its probably the worst bad beat.when you lose aa vs aa, happend to me a couple of times, ak vs ak.

@@rcbrochill rigged ? Lol . You really believe poker is rigged ?)

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.

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..

@@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.

Both horrible characters

But hellmuth wins horrible by miles

How could anyone possible say they’re not good for poker though? Hate on em all you want but they are good for poker… I’ve never heard anyone sah that

Except for Daniel's hideously dyed hair and beard.

I think EVERYONE would agree with you!!!

Hey man he just KNEW he had two overs

Absolutely!!!!!

How do you even do that😭😭😭😭😭

that was a pretty gnarly hand, it was so ugly but so good

@@fighttitansboxing8462 lmfaoo

well he earned tons of money some people could only dream about this. I would maybe criticize him but we still have to respect him for his fame in poker history! He played so well also against Efsandiari

ah no it was actually hideous. just because he won the pot doesnt mean he didnt play it like an absolute spew off.

@@Simon-nv5zj i hate how he calls people dumb for playing normal hands that fit in at the time.

@@aaronstephens6325 and he always thinks everything he does is perfect. In his mind he always plays everything perfectly.

I wonder if Phil still would have said "I think you're one of the all-time great players" if he had lost the game.

@@youcantseemychin3668 Excellent point/hypothetical. My opinion leans to saying No to your hypothetical.

Agreed,he changed a lot even his play style,taking big risks

15 fucking bracelets, he can have any meltdowns or blowups he wants, he deserves it: he paid his fucking dues.

@@youcantseemychin3668 maybe not, but he would still have the opinion 🙂

There's one of Phil's rants which comes to my mind. After a bad beat he went on a rant and the opponent said: "Calm down Phil, it's just a game!" to which he responded: "To you it's a game. To me it's my LIFE!!" Just shows how passionate he is about the game.

Unless Phil lost 😂

A friendly ending wouldn’t have happened if Phil lost 3 straight. Feels bad for Danny, didn’t do much wrong. Seemed to just be missing the killer instinct needed to win SNGs.

@@GotoyourhomeBall I agree. I love Phil, but he is an awful loser, even if he is one of the most gracious winners out there. Daniel is awesome. People who slag him know nothing about poker.

Phil is great at showing respect after he wins.

Unless Phil gets lots of cooler..😂😂

I know lol they acted like Daniel just had bad luck or something. He had to run out of luck eventually

yoo my manz spittin facts

Not to forget that he hit trips 3 on the flop with q3 against an overpair.... oh wait that wasnt negreanu

@@schwebor Daniel called with the pocket 9s and nobody made him do that whatsoever.

You don’t see 99% of hands, so you don’t know how it was

Yep, two of the best.

Idk I feel like even if you know poker and watch it, you know Phil isnt that bad of a guy😂

Yep, two legends in the ring.

In the club, 8/3 clubs. Bars.

She’s an 8 with the lights off, a 3 when the lights come on 🤣

its just for jokes lol, they both know Hellmuth is arguably the goat

yes its great to watch....go Phil

@@rodrigogonzalez6219 I never got that vibe that it was just jokes. They always made it a mission to make him look like the biggest goof who ever played the game. That’s the vibe I got from them.

They're all very close friends behind the cameras

@@EdwinBetancourtJr they do try to get him on tilt any chance they get…all of the pro personalities do, because it’s entertaining. But, they definitely also consider him one of the best. Both can be true.

One of the best poker matches I've witnessed.

Yeah that KK vs. KK beat was insane. How often does that happen? Too often if you are Phil. LOL!

Patience and being a consistent luckbox

@@masterboytothemax1599 Did we watch the same video? Which part was phil lucky? KK vs KK? The AQ vs K3?

I always liked Phil. Sure, he's a sore loser, but I think he's genuinely nicer than Negreanu.

@@jerrymoreno6498 What puts him so high is that he has great 'poker empathy'..... this will be a phrase talked about in years to come.

always loved Philand he is actually a wonderful guy

@@jerrymoreno6498 oh yeah and he is so real love the guy

Phil can definitely be a bully as well. I don't remember what match but Phil was on a good run but was still relentlessly shit talking a younger player the whole time. Really embarrassed the kid.

Phil plays so unorthodox that it just confuses them.People are afraid of what they don’t understand!

@@Gos1234567 you see everyone plays in this box over here. While Phil plays in this area over there. Its called white magic.

Maria Ho and DNegs are very good friends. It's nearly impossible for her (anyone) not to let that show in the commentary.

@@liljimmh I just puked due to your comment.

Everyone wants dneg to win lol

Reading the comments, I wouldn’t have known he has a reputation for blowing up at the table. Stellar performance.

I think Ivey takes it... I also think Scott Sever would beat a lot of the the all time greats heads up.

@@kevinharris8629 scott sever is trash wtf

@@bigmaydon7934 So you watch poker?

First he is playing a much clamored for match against Nick Wright. Everyone was saying I want to see him play Nick Wright before he plays Ivey or Dwan

Finally we get to see Helmuth vs Nick Wright. We have been waiting a decade for this grudge match

He behaved in this video but if you describe phil hellmuth as a great guy you have some serious issues. That guy is the most obnoxious manchild to ever walk the planet.

Phil is an awful loser, but he is a brilliant winner. These are my two favourite players for a reason. Entertainment.

@@jamiecook4288 I like both players as well. I understand if the Daniel's or Antonio's needle Phil because he's played with them for years, what I don't like seeing are next generation calling him with crap just to see him explode. He's getting better at handling it though.

Now put Hellmuth up against Doug Polk and crush him. Polk might be a phenomenal online heads up champ, but live, he can't beat Phil or Daniel. Phil is indeed one of the GOATS and he may be ridiculed, he may be a brat, but he proves why over and over.

@@guibox3 i think polk beats him live as well if its just a deep stack cash game. That straight over straight fold on the show earlier in the year shows he understands Phil's thinking

@@johno8425 yeah definitely bud! The new generation of poker-watchers are very toxic and deluded. No doubt Phil is an awful loser but he is probably in the top 5 players of all time. And an extremely gracious winner.

Loved It!

Heads up is a way different game then a full table

U think?

It was a 19-1 deficit, in fact.

He still has to play Ivey to earn the goat title...and I wanna see that matchup!😎

He needs to play Ivy, Dwan, Chan and Doug Polk... hahah

he won fair and square but 3 live poker sessions is only gonna reveal so much

@@rcchristian2 he already beat Polk HU.

@@alexsamain812 And followed that up by beating Jungleman

Thank you

He’s really passive aggressive actually, it’s just disguised by charisma.

lol no

​@@justsomeguywithagoatee8337He's possibly the greatest poker player of all time.

A couple years ago in the Caribbean tournament when his leg was hurt he was way serious. It was horrible to watch!

Pressure was getting to him

He looked like he was hating it,looked nervous,wasn’t even handling the chips comfortably.Phil was a Hunter going after a wounded deer!!

You all clearly haven’t seen him life stream, he’s always bloody serious, he’s so different these days

Negreanu keeps criticizing Phil for not embracing the "superior" game theory, yet keeps losing to him.

@@trollogy3435 partially because this format just favors Phil heavily. If they played their match similarly to how Doug and Daniel did I think the results would have been different.

@@clint6716 thats what they all say. it is what it is, Hellmuth beat Negreanu heads up 3 times in a row.

@@Alex-gb8em probably because it's true? I mean we'll never know and there's no denying that Phil is a short stack genius. But short stack play is very simple compared to deep stack, which in almost every match during the deep stack portion Phil was usually doing pretty poorly.

@@clint6716 It's a heads up SnG yeh the blinds go up but still they both agreed to the format. Negreanu has played many tournaments so he knows about short stack play as well. Say something original to me instead of what everyone says and no just because everyone says that doesn't make it true lmao

FOUND THE COMMENT!

And somehow she got 65 wsop cashes for 1.7 million dollar and you got 0, thats fascinating.

@@Maaden84 and probably 2M in buyins. Cashes dont mean shit

He dodged it and didn't come on to talk about it. Shocker.

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

@@casper5379 sure Ali, sure

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

@@gr00vespoker winning is all that matters

Phil is a better player heads up that’s for sure

@@gr00vespoker What do you use, being a goof with butthair plugs on your head?

Yes winning is all that matters in a HU SitnGo. Daniel talks about how much better he is deep stacked. Then dont agree to a tournament style blinds SitnGo

@@gr00vespoker Ok then go play poker lose all your money and then scream on the streets: "I AM THE BEST" Hahahaha

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

just like germ theory its only a theory !

@@thexentrader897 a theory non the less

@@Alec____ theories are different from facts even when they are well supported.😎

@@lyotoarellano we found the fish

@@Dhakhar yea yea. Good luck with your poker career you shark.

I’ve found that poker is grasping at female “stars” to be the face of poker to bring in more women and all the simps that drool over a semi decent looking woman. I respect her for her skill, but the simps put her on a pedestal for her looks which is sad because she looks like she’s had 20k in plastic surgery.

Well put. In this format, there aren't enough hands to justify game theory math (in my opinion). The winner will usually be the one who is better at judging each situation by living in the moment and reacting appropriately.
