Jason Koon is the High Stakes Duel III Champ!

[Shells]

Jason Koon is the champ simply because no one stepped up with $1.6 million to challenge him after his win against Phil Hellmuth. Hellmuth or anyone else with $1.6 million to put up, had 30 days to come forth and propose the challenge to Jason. Because no one did challenge Jason, he then wins the High Stakes Duel III sponsored by PokerGO.

He’s the first player not named Phil Hellmuth to win the High Stakes Duel belt.

That’s awesome. Not surprised that there were no challengers opting to pony up the 1.6 million dollars. Congratulations to Jason Koon. . Definitely one of my favorites.

$1.6 million is a huge amount for a HU entry, I think even for a poker pro.
Congrats to Jason Koon, nice belt!

Wouldn't matter if Mickey Mouse was your opponent.
