Haigh sweeps into Tour League lead

A second final table appearance at the ParadisePoker Tour Madrid saw Robert Haigh climb to the top of the PPT League with one event to play.

The popular German leapfrogged Ronnie Espensen, the Dane who had led since PPT London in November, courtesy of his seventh-place finish and leaves him in a powerful position.

The Tour League champion will win a €10,000 bonus prize plus entry into all Season 3 events, so battle for the top spot will be fierce in Barcelona from July 29th-31st.

Espensen will be disappointed to have lost the lead he held for so long, but Haigh's consistency has earned him his place at the summit - and the tournament professional will be keen to hold on to top spot.

A deep run in Barcelona could yet pay off for Lukasz Gebica, Paulo Calado, Tibor Boros or Bastian Bluem, however, so all eyes will be on the leading contenders when we shuffle up and deal in Catalonia.
