And there was one key head-to-head hand, one that turned the tides and basically handed the win to Hellmuth.

It started with Hellmuth raising to 18,000 chips with a pair of 7s. Negreanu, with a King-9 offsuit, calls. Not the strongest hand in heads-up, but when he sees the flop, he’ll be happy.
It’s a King-Queen-7. Negreanu has landed top pair … but he wouldn’t be so happy if he realized Hellmuth has three 7s. After Negreanu checks, Hellmuth — with his chip lead — bets 25,000. Negreanu thinks about it and calls.

The next card is a six of diamonds. Again: A Negreanu check followed by a Hellmuth bet. This time it’s 70,000. Negreanu seems to know something’s up and he looks at his cards. He calls.

The river is … a KING! Negreanu has walked right into a trap. He’s got three Kings, a hand that would be perfect in this situation. But Hellmuth has a full house. Negreanu checks one more time, Hellmuth bets a whopping 220,000 chips.
This is where Negreanu starts chattering, a signature move in which he tries to get any information out of his opponent to help him make a decision. Hellmuth has his fists over his face and doesn’t budge. Negreanu calls and loses all but 5,000 of his chips. Ouch.

Negreanu tweeted about the hand and took us inside his thinking:
With 11 bracelets, Phil Hellmuth is considered by many to be one of the best tournament players in the world. But that doesn’t stop his detractors from saying that he can’t compete at a high level in the big cash games.
Over the next two weeks, Hellmuth’s doubters and supporters will have a chance to watch the “Poker Brat” in action as he plays $200-$400 against five opponents on NBC’s Poker After Dark. The minimum buy-in for the show is $100,000.
The two-week series, entitled “The Hellmuth Bash,” will also feature Tom Dwan, Kenny Tran, Phil Laak, Antonio Esfandiari, and amateur Bob Safai.
This is the first time in Poker After Dark’s history that a cash game will be featured over two week’s time. The popular daily show also announced that it would have the players redraw their seats midway through the session so that viewers could see the players adjust to different positions.
Dwan, more commonly known as “durrrr” online, is a cash game specialist. He completes at the highest levels online, but has shown his ability to transition to live games. In his first World Series in 2008, he made two final tables.
Laak and Esfandiari, often paired up together in TV cash games, are known for their back-and-forth banter and endless prop bets. The two regularly play the high-level cash games.
Tran, the winner of the 2008 heads-up bracelet at the WSOP, isn’t modest when it comes to his abilities. Dubbed “Sick Call,” he isn’t afraid to let his instincts take over a game.
Finally, Safai will round out this group of six. Considered an amateur poker player, he has played his fair share of high stakes. He has previously appeared on High Stakes Poker on Game Show Network.
New episodes of Poker After Dark will debut at 2:05 a.m. on NBC during the week, and at 1:00 a.m. following Saturday Night Live.
