Lines aren't set based on what they think the outcomes might be.

Is there really a match or are they taking bets that only apply if there is a match?

Phil Hellmuth vs Daniel Negreanu
Odds to Win Heads-Up Match
08:00 PM 22802 Daniel Negreanu -225
22801 Phil Hellmuth +160

Line changed big time.
It says any format live or online. All wagers have action. Must take place in 2021 and winner must be declared.

AFAIK there is no official match yet.

Insane that Phil Hellmuth is involved in a heads up match and I dislike the other person more.

Is Dnegs gonna try and get a large sample online or will they do some lame live turbo SNG format?

Phil won't even stack off with TT pre!

Are they playing HU tournament format with increasing blinds? Will we be able to see hole cards.

Seems like great publicity for both of them without having to play a younger strong HU player. They can also using coaching and solvers to sharpen their skills.

Honestly, I didn't know much about Polk before and haven't watched his videos but came away a fan.
You should check out the pod he did with Davis Mattek, “Taekcast”.

So you’re saying there’s just been a lot of initial money on Phil?

Does anyone know the structure? Are they playing cash or betting on who wins HU SNGs?

Whatever happens it’s a fascinating concept. How do you begin to prepare for a guy who says of the Polk match ‘Daniel shouldn’t have bothered with GTO’ 🤣

Fun fact: forgetting the word "beat" was not intentional on my part.

So we don't have to wait three months for his response . . .

Doesn’t Daniel know that Phil crushed all the big cash games?

I bet the best No Limit players play more hands in a year than PH has played in his entire life.

That's the counter intuitive part of these challenges.

In Doug vs Negreanu, it was Daniel who was the Rookie, and inexperience was what killed him.

Ironic, isn't it.
