Bruce is having the better of the early exchanges - pressuring Nuno"s post flop activity with hefty raises, which Nuno is having trouble countering

[MarkTheShark]

Momentum shift as a cooler hits Bruce!

With the board showing 76K85, chips went flying in and eventually we were at showdown with Nuno at risk.

Bruce tables 43 for the straight - but Nuno has got 96 for the thick end of the straight!

Huge pot - this takes Nuno well into the chip lead and Bruce less than 300k

Nuno raises and Bruce announces all in.....for what is left, Nuno has to call, but only has 82. Bruce in good shape with A9.

Board runs 5TTTJ and Bruce doubles thru

[MarkTheShark]

When Nuno raises Bruce"s BB to 90k, Bruce announces all in and Nuno insta calls.

Nuno 77, Bruce AJ

No help on the flop - in fact it benefits Nuno as 368 is followed by a 9 on the turn. Bruce needing an Ace or a Jack on the river to stay alive...........but no.....a lady appears and Nuno Duarte wins.....a real Portuguese Man o War!!!!

A great event, fantastic performance from Bruce Salmon:
