Gossip Column: Patrick Antonius and Jared Bleznick Face Off in High Stakes Duel 5 on PokerGO This November

The much-awaited High Stakes Duel is back and better than ever! After a year-long hiatus, PokerGO is bringing us a heads-up showdown that’s going to be absolutely epic. We’re talking about two of the biggest names in poker history going head-to-head in a battle for glory and bragging rights: Patrick Antonius vs. Jared Bleznick! Mark your calendars for Tuesday, November 1, at 8 PM (ET) because this is one you won’t want to miss.

Remember how High Stakes Duel 4 ended? Daniel Negreanu took down Doug Polk in a thrilling Round 2 match to win the $200,000 prize after crushing Eric Persson in Round 1 for $100,000. It was a sweet victory for Negreanu, who had been on a mission to recoup some of his losses from their infamous Grudge Match. But now, it’s time for a new chapter in High Stakes Duel history.

Antonius vs. Bleznick – A Clash of the Titans

High Stakes Duel 5 pits two poker heavyweights against each other in a heads-up battle for the ages. Patrick Antonius, the newest member of the Poker Hall of Fame, is known for his fearless style and icy demeanour.

Jared Bleznick, winner of the first-ever Super High Roller Bowl PLO last year, is one of the most talented players in the world, especially when it comes to Pot-Limit Omaha. He’s also known for his colourful personality and entertaining table talk.

This matchup has all the makings of a classic. It’s a clash of styles, a battle of wits, and a test of nerves. And with the stakes doubling each round, the tension is going to be off the charts!

The Format – High Stakes, High Drama

High Stakes Duel 5 will follow the same format that fans have come to love. Both players start with a $50,000 buy-in, and the stakes double with each round. The duel continues until one player decides to quit, with new rounds broadcast each week. There’s no limit to how high the stakes can go, so the potential for massive pots and insane swings is huge!

To make things even more interesting, Antonius and Bleznick will be playing a mix of No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha, with the game switching every ten hands. This adds a whole new layer of strategy and excitement to the match, as both players will need to prove their mettle in both formats to come out on top.

“We couldn’t be more excited for the return of High Stakes Duel with a matchup that embodies everything this series is about – intensity, skill, and high-stakes drama,” said Brent Hanks, Director of Programming at PokerGO. “Jared and Patrick are without a doubt two of the most accomplished and talented players in the game, and watching them battle it out with the stakes doubling each round is going to be a thrilling ride. This is the kind of edge-of-your-seat poker that our fans crave, and we’re proud to deliver it.”

High Stakes Duel 5 will air exclusively on PokerGO, with live coverage available for subscribers. Tune in on Tuesday, November 12, and prepare for a masterclass in heads-up poker strategy and high-stakes drama!
