@@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.

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.
Pretty impressive how Phil was stone faced despite getting coolered multiple times. The KK vs KK hand is a poker player's worst nightmare. Oh it's a chop, oh no wait runner runner runner runner flush, I lose.
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.

That 83 play was unbelievable! Helmuth changed his game so well knowing who he was playing. He gets criticized so much, but he really is one of the greatest.
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
I really like this version of Phil. Leaving the schtick behind and taking a calmer approach. No blowups, no breakdowns, just being classy and playing top notch poker. He's been saying he was the best for years but because of all the bravado and meltdowns it was hard to take seriously. It's been a real treat watching him prove it in these duels.
I never thought I'd say this, but Phil Hellmuth was impressive. He reinvented himself. 5-betting with 83 suited, not going on tilt when he got coolered with KK and a straight. He really is a student of the game.
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.

I would’ve tilted so hard on that K3o beat after the KK v. KK flush beat. Phil played great. That’s brutal. Phil is actually the sweetest dude away from the table and when he’s not on tilt.

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.

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.
I think Phil greatest attribute is his patience. He truly believes that he is the best in the world, and that given enough hands played he will always come out on top. Very impressive.
Phil is the goat. I think he’s so passionate about poker and life in general. Guy just cares so much and wants to be great so badly he never wavers. Shows respect where it’s due too. Great guy Phil.
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.
Negreanu before the high stakes duels "I'm sure I can beat Hellmuth, twice even if he agrees to go again which I hope he does" I'm sure Antonio felt the same way Daniel
Phil just straight up owns Dnegs in these HU matches. Coming back from being down 9-1 in chips has to be considered one of the best come backs. Chip and a chair baby.
To save some time (and *without spoilers* ), when Hellmuth goes ALL-IN at 5:54, skip to 8:56 for the play by Negreanu if you don't want to waste 3 minutes of your life ...

It's great to see two players that understand the dynamics of the game and have a mutual respect for each other. Sometimes lucky cards fall and bring victory from certain defeat and that's just the way the game is.
Videos of Phil blowing up are entertaining and get lots of views. The reality is that he may be the best tournament poker player to ever play. He's won through all the different changes the game has gone through be it players or styles.
2 of the greatest poker players of my generation. I wish I could watch the whole thing twice. Once with each of them, and get their thoughts on each hand. I think that would be the greatest learning experience, for poker, that I could ever think of.
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
that AQ vs K3 hand, NEGs believed Helmuth was on tilt and wanted to pressure him to fold best hand. Helmuth was frustrated but surprisingly not on tilt at all and made the correct call. Great play by both of them in general but I like Phil much better as he progressed into a new mindset. Not only has he improved his game but he also improved his vision in general. not blowing up after KK and AQ losses is just a big improvement in every way.
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.
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.
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 !!!
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.
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.
I have been studying the game for 3 months, after taking a 12 year hiatus from small stakes/home games. I thought I was making good progress, but the first 4 minutes of the video showed me that there is no substitution for constant, focused experience. I am referring to both players, but to quote Billy Madison, "he's good."
To be fair and unbiased, the deck has been very good to Phil in these matches. Very good. Lots of coolers. But yes, he is one of the best to ever do it.

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
Because he's not.
Say what you will, Daniel took the L with class. Can't wait to hear the recap on DAT poker podcast.
He dodged it and didn't come on to talk about it. Shocker.
That 8,3 vs 2,2 was one of the craziest hands I’ve seen
Daniels tone really changed from match 1 after getting his ass beat 3 times
that AQ vs K3 hand, NEGs believed Helmuth was on tilt and wanted to pressure him to fold best hand. Helmuth was frustrated but surprisingly not on tilt at all and made the correct call. Great play by both of them in general but I like Phil much better as he progressed into a new mindset. Not only has he improved his game but he also improved his vision in general. not blowing up after KK and AQ losses is just a big improvement in every way.
Heads up Phil is a monster becoming one of my favorite players used to not like him but I was pulling for him here after his apex predator monologue
The first hand in this video was the best hand of poker I've ever seen. An 83 and 22. So much thought into each call and bet.
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)
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.
love the humility at the end, tywo great guys.
1:20 Daniel stonecold trying to get the read... meanwhile Phil is tongue fishing for that cashew stuck between his teeth
Love the sportsmanship at the end there . Very nice from both Phil and Daniel. Gg guys
Pls post the ace jack preflop fold

That's gotta be one of the best looking deck of cards I've seen in a while. Very beautiful
Maria Ho is a terrible commentator.analysis is way off and just not entertaining
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.
Is he going to squirt water at him ? I'm still laughing.
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.
Two of the greatest ever hands down, but Phil at the absolute top of his game might be the GOAT.
Please Dont make fun of hellmeuth anymore .A message to All big poker pros... Respect the One and Only poker Legend
Love watching these two go at it!
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 !!!
Playing time card was sign of weakness Daniel!
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.
Damn hellmuth outplayed the shit out of Daniel on that Q3 99 hand
Yup. Made him look like a fish. Big mistake not 4 betting preflop
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.
Those were some entertaining hands! Couldn't have had a better show. Phil's temperament has evolved
I’m sure the brat will be back at some point 😂
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
agreed, bet-calling after being raised on the flop is the absolute worst thing he could have done
Both of my favorite players going head to head awesome game guys
Why do the announcers hate Phil so much?
Everybody loves and hates phil 😃
Phil, "I think you're one of the all-time greats." Daniel, "I think you played great today." lol
Daniel has lost his mojo. He's just a front man now.
It's all that new dark hair he bought....
Go take him on then.
Losing to Phil 3-0 is not bad. Hellmuth is a head to head monster.
He’s been like this for years
I have been studying the game for 3 months, after taking a 12 year hiatus from small stakes/home games. I thought I was making good progress, but the first 4 minutes of the video showed me that there is no substitution for constant, focused experience. I am referring to both players, but to quote Billy Madison, "he's good."
and they still have doubts that he is the best
To be fair and unbiased, the deck has been very good to Phil in these matches. Very good. Lots of coolers. But yes, he is one of the best to ever do it.
Hellmuth might be the best heads up but Phil Ivey is the best Texas hold’em player of the last few decades imo
@@defeatignorance8681 What? First Negreanu hits a flush with KK vs KK and later wins with K3 vs AQ (both all-ins). How is that good for Phil?
Say what you want about Hellmuth, he can hold his own against the best of them.
