Big Hand for Detective Sergeant Mike Kosowski

Level 18 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

On September 11th, 2001, Mike Kosowski dashed into the World Trade Center like countless other first responders. He suffered a handful of herniated discs in his back and neck, but thankfully he survived when the South tower fell.

In the aftermath, Kosowski started picking up poker and in 2009 he had the opportunity to compete in a televised Million Dollar Challenge. Kosowski won every challenge, including a final heads-up battle against Daniel Negreanu for $1 million.

Today he's in the field, and he just busted fellow New Yorker Joseph Chaplin. It was quite a cooler, the two got all the money in preflop with Kosowski's aces crushing Chaplin's kings. Chaplin did not improve his hand and was eliminated from the tournament.

Kosowski now has 310,000 chips and is looking to add to his poker resume.
