Having seen his good friend Hugo Almeida miss out on the money, Paulo Calado joined him in lamenting what might have been as the table of death struck again.
Calado suffered the classic Aces vs Kings scenario, getting it all in pre-flop with cowboys, only to find an opponent with the bullets to end his tournament life.
It also ends the fantasy poker chances of RugbyWolf, who had looked a strong favourite to win the game at the start of Day 2.
Having seen Almeida miss the points by a hair's breadth, his team was left in tatters at Caldao's 43rd place finish, which means he scores just eight points towards his total.
The sudden exit also has an impact on the PPT League, where no man will be celebrating the demise of Calado than Ronnie Espensen.
The Dane is guaranteed to remain ahead of his Portuguese foe at least, but will have to wait and see if any other players can surpass his current 71-point total.
