You can go ahead and forget about the preview article we wrote a few days back on the $1.6 million High Stakes Duel III rematch between Phil Hellmuth and Scott Seiver, scheduled for August 22 on PokerGO, because the game has been called off.
Citing personal reasons, three months after his Round 4 defeat, Seiver has decided to back out of the match, leaving the seat open for a new challenger to face Hellmuth, who is 9-1 on the heads-up poker show.
Players are now on their second break of Day 1c. There are currently 136 runners in the tournament and registration will close at the beginning of Level 7.
Willard Cutler open-jammed his last 7,900 from late position and Anderson Premdas called from the next seat over. The button and blinds got out of the way and action was heads-up with Cutler at risk once again.
