Stefano Schiano: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The board came down {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Higgs' nine lives were finally up. He congratulated and hugged his opponent for a well-played heads-up battle. The five-time Aussie Millions champ bowed out in second place and took home €175,000 for his accomplishment.

Stefano Schiano, who received a big kiss from his ecstatic partner, has become the winner of the €1,100 French National for €209,000! An end of day recap of all the action, as well as the winner's shots of Schiano, follow later.
