Phil Hellmuth pulled off some key bluffs and won a crucial race to defeat Antonio Esfandiari in the first round of PokerGo's new heads-up show, 'High Stakes Duel'. While poker fans are happy with the heads-up show, there is some unhappiness directed to the PokerGo for not having the game broadcasted as advertised.

Twitterers certainly let their feelings be known.

Phil Hellmuth Defeats Antonio Esfandiari in Round One of PokerGo Heads-Up Duel

Used to love watching Helmuth complain about bad beats.

I still love watching Phil H. even though I think he has mellowed some over the years.

I like seeing Phil whine and get upset and in his case it doesn't mean he's a bad player. His record certainly says otherwise.

A.Safandiari and the Legend Helmut wow, two beasts always liked to play them to learn something more the guys are living myths !! Nice post!

Thanks monsters Players

I think such a powerful confrontation is worth watching for every poker fan. “The Magician” has officially announced the rematch. I hope that their game will still be shown in a live broadcast.

Everything was decided in the confrontation of hands 77 vs QJ despite good bluffs by Helmut. I liked that the past duels of Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Hellmuth were shown in the breaks of the broadcast.

It is always good to see such great players play. But for sure, they could have advertised a bit of a heads-up show, ‘High Stakes Duel’.

Him complaining was some of the best Poker TV I've watched. Used to love seeing him go on tilt during poker after dark.
