Rupert Elder has just won EPT San Remo after admitting that his opponent actually played better than him during the heads up encounter. Spare a thought for poor Max Heinzelmann, he was one card away from being the new champion, but now has to settle for his second number two spot in a few short weeks.
The trophy will stay on the British Isles after this final hand.
Max Heinzelmann was first to act and he open shoved and Rupert Elder asked for a count before deciding it was his time to take his shot.

Heinzelmann didn't even have two live cards and was going to need some serious help.
Board:
The dream for Heinzelmann was over but he did have over �1 million in combined prize money as consolation (EPT Berlin and San Remo).
Well done Rupert Elder.
