Bullets to the heart

The final table is set and it could hardly have arrived with more fanfare, as twice Aces and Queens collided - with two contrasting results that left David Camara Espejo distraught at exiting 10th.

Continuing his role as executioner on Day 3, it was Robert Haigh who struck the killer blow and sent us to dinner break, but this time is more luck than the expert judgement we've come to expect from the German.

Haigh had shoved over the top of the initial raise from 'Luzago' with Q♥Q♣ in the hole earning a snap call from the Spaniards A♣A♥.

With the pair evenly stacked, it looked all over for the PPT regular - but a river Queen turned the hand on its head and sent Robert to the final table with a 600,000 stack.

Earlier Gabriel Costas had been pushed to the brink in an identical match-up - suits and all - though it was his QQ that lost out to the Aces of Jose Maria Somolinos.

Final table to follow!
