The five day tournament is over and Joe Hachem is the champion winning a cool 2.1 mil. This is a little bit of validation for him to prove his WSOP Main Event win was not a fluke.
One notable hand was when Ed Jordan moved all-in against Mads Andersen and Negreanu on a board of Qh,Qc,10h,4h. Mads bowed out but Negreanu called. Get this: Ed Jordan flips over 8s,7s and Negreanu flips over Ac,Kh. What a call! Jordan didn't improve and was eliminated. After the hand, Joe Hachem takes the mic and announces "Daniel Negreanu is the sickest poker player on the planet."
Negreanu came into the final table as the chip leader and was 3-2 by the oddsmakers at Bodog to win. Unfortunately, Daniel lost a couple big pots and was eventually eliminated by Hachem. This was a great win for Hachem. He's been on fire lately after having not one, not two, but three final table appearances at the WSOP this year and just barely missing two new bracelets.
Also of note was that Grinder solidified his spot as Cardplayer Player of the Year in this WPT event and stacked another 50k on top of his 29th place winnings for it.
