The rail, which had gone a little quiet for both players recently, erupted.
"Ladies love Howie!" merged with "Allez-la!" as the board came out , the queens holding with minimal sweat. Just like that, a heads up match that was edging towards epic territory comes to an end, Jean-Ren�� Fontaine picking up second place prize money after a sterling performance at the final table.
