Main Event Champions Square Off
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
As the 2019 Main Event is starting to hit high gear on Day 6 and we get closer to crowning the newest Main Event champion who will become a household poker name, a couple of former champions are seated at the same table and going at it in the Double Stack.
1989 champion Phil Hellmuth raised to 5,100 from the cutoff. He was three-bet to 21,000 by 2014 champion Martin Jacobson. Hellmuth did not appreciate the three-bet from the more recent champion.
"You play fast huh? We could play fast you know." said Hellmuth. However, 'The Poker Brat' did not press the issue this time and folded his hand.
Meanwhile at the table right next door, 2009 champion Joe Cada is also competing in this event.
