Dwan elected to step in for Nick Wright after Wright lost his first match against Hellmuth in July. Wright had the option to continue but declined, and this led to Dwan stepping in.

Hellmuth and Dwan will both be putting up $100,000, with the winner walking away with $200,000.

Tom Dwan has been largely out of the spotlight for the past decade, as he has apparently spent much of his time battling in high-stakes games in Macau.

Dwan's time out of the spotlight has done little to dim his legend, as he remains one of the most followed and popular players in the poker world.

Hellmuth will be looking to continue his undefeated streak, while Dwan will be looking to exact some revenge against an old nemesis.
