Soriano claims the PPT crown

QJ was the winning hand for Santiago
Santiago Soriano is PPT Barcelona champion for Season 3 after finally finding the killer touch in his closely contested duel with Rumen Nanev.

The pair had been cancelling each other out since making a deal for €25,000 a piece, but both showed their desire to win the trophy by playing some good poker.

In the end Nanev made a crying call for all his chips with an open-ended straight draw and lost out to the overcards and gutshot of Soriano - who spiked top pair to seal the deal.

Our long-time chip leader from Bulgaria had 6♥7♥ when it went in, with his rival flipping Q♣J♥ on a 4♥8♣9♠ flop. The turn brought the 8♦ and the river was that decisive Q♠.

Congratulations to Santiago on his success. The PP blog had a quick chat with the champ - as well as our runner-up - and will post the interviews tomorrow. We'll also be posting pics from Saturday night's fun at Carpe Diem, so be sure to check back or follow us on Twitter for updates.
