Just as we felt our big hand sense tingling, the key moment duly arrived and it was Marek Viscak who continued his late surge to win the PPT Bulgaria.It came in similar circumstances to the hand which had earned him the chip lead, as once again rival Aske Muff flopped top pair and the Czech a big draw.
This time it was 7♦8♦ on a Q♦-J♦-&4clubs; board, and even with Q10 in the hole, Aske almost sensed his own impending downfall by striking the table.
The turn delivered another set of outs for Viscak, as the 6♥ dropped, and the river 5♣ made him an unlikely straight.
The pain was evident in Muff's reaction, but he admitted his €20,000 prize - won courtesy of a pre-heads up deal - would be of considerable comfort.
"I'm disappointed because I feel like I had him twice," said the Dane, "It was only €3,000 more at stake but of course you always want to win.
"The trophy would have meant a lot but this is why I love live poker, for this kind of excitement, so I'll definitely be back for future events!"
