The stakes and rivalries will be on another level in High Stakes Duel in this tournament format that has never been seen before in the poker world. The first round sees each player buy-in for $50,000 with the winner advancing to Round 2 where the loser has the option to challenge for a rematch. If they decline, the challenger seat is open for 30 days. The stakes are set to double each round - and if Round 8 is reached - a potential $12.8 million prize pool awaits the winner.
