Daniel Negreanu comes up just short at the LAPT Grand Final final table, and cash game ballers are trying to put together a heads-up league or event. It’s all in today’s edition of the PTP Hit and Run.

Negreanu’s near miss: Daniel Negreanu put together a nice run at the Latin American Poker Tour’s stop in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but it ended short of a title. He finished sixth; get a report on his elimination here.

In other live events, the United Kingdom and Ireland Poker Tour event in Galway is in the books; full report here. And the European Poker Tour’s Copenhagen stop is under way; live updates here.

Ballers gotta ball: Could a heads-up no-limit cash game event/tournament/league be in the works, with some of poker’s biggest ballers? Story here, and 2+2 thread here. Dan “jungleman12″ Cates and Justin “zeejustin” Bonomo appear to be in the mix.

The proposed high-stakes challenge made the out list of PokerListings’ In and Out List, however. The odds of a bunch of these pros getting together to do anything and agreeing on the format seems unlikely.
