Daniel Negreanu is still searching for poker’s elusive Triple Crown(TM).

In the end, it wasn’t meant to be.

Daniel Negreanu had been cruising at the EPT Vienna event since around 50 remaining, always at or near the top of the chip count.

At the final table, Negreanu was chip leader pretty much all the way through five-handed play. But unlike Wilson Phillips, he couldn’t hold on, finishing fourth.

Had Negreanu won, he would’ve captured poker’s elusive Triple CrownTM and supplanted Phil Ivey as the all-time tournament money winner.

For the fourth, Negreanu banked 1,040 and pushed his career earnings over M. This was the biggest cash and finish in what has been a bit of an off-year for Negreanu.

In related news, Michael Eiler of Germany won the event, banking just over a million dollars. Don’t read all about it here.

Ok, we still haven’t had a chance to head down to the M Resort in Las Vegas to watch the PartyPoker Premier League IV. That’s on us. Our bad. We want to, but as Hootie once sang, “Tiiiiiime, why you punish me.”
No time.
Anyway, needing a win and a win only

Ok, we still haven’t had a chance to head down to the M Resort in Las Vegas to watch the PartyPoker Premier League IV. That’s on us. Our bad. We want to, but as Hootie once sang, “Tiiiiiime, why you punish me.”
No time.
Anyway, needing a win and a win only to stay alive for the final table, Daniel Negreanu won the final heat of the PPPL4TM on Wednesday. However, he’s still not guaranteed a spot at the final table (seems like if you win a heat you should be allowed in, but whatever). Instead, he now has to play the spectacularly-breasted J.C. Tran in a best two-out-of-three heads-up match, winner advancing to the final table.
Wtf, right?
Roland de Wolfe and Ian Frazier have to play the same heads-up match format with the winner advancing as well.
Ok, we just don’t get it. But if they’re happy, we’re happy. Locked into the final table and not requiring a sudden-death heads-up match are Phil Laak, David Benyamine, Giovanni Safina, and Luke Schwartz. They’ll be competing for a first place prize of we have no idea.

PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge wraps this weekend (Dec. 27 after the NFL on FOX) on a high-note.
Mike Kosowski, a 21-year vet of the NYPD and first responder to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, defeated Daniel Negreanu heads-up for ,000,000.
Kosowski’s story was chronicled in the book “Never Forget: The Oral History of September 11.” Kosowski was among the first NYPD to enter the World Trade Center after the Government terrorists flew planes in to them. We’ll let the PokerStars press release tell the story after that:
From there, getting pelted with glass and debris, he hustled to World Financial Center, in hopes of helping make sure that building was clear. Inside, he found eight people trapped. Determined to bring them to safety, Kosowski was leading the group through a back exit when an explosion rippled through the area, launching Kosowski 10 feet through the air. He slammed into a wall. Though adrenaline kept him from feeling the full force of the pain, that impact herniated three discs in his neck, two in his back and left him with pain in his legs.
Kosowski spent the rest of the day, and the better part of the next few months, searching the debris at Ground Zero and on the Staten Island landfills for human remains. He was given the Medal of Valor for his actions that day.
This week’s episode may be the most watched poker broadcast of all-time…although Madsen probably thinks it was all a highly choreographed Government conspiracy designed to take down Full Tilt and filmed in the same bunker where they filmed the moon landing.
