PPT Madrid crowns its champion as Miki takes the glory

After threatening to play on all night, the cards finally separated Miguel Rodriguez and Ricardo Calleja, but not without a little more drama.

All in on a 3♥-5♥-8♥ flop, Miki looked in control as the players rolled J♥8♦ and 8♠4♠, but the turn and river filled both players up for a split pot.

Even the decisive hand looked like it had another twist in the tale, as Ricardo's 6♥9♠ flopped an open ended straight draw against his rival's 9♠10♠.

This time the stronger holding held sway however, and ended the PPT Madrid 2010 with the widely-tipped Miguel Rodriguez as its champion.
