A bungling masked gunman who tried to rob a snooker club called off his attempt when the terrified barmaid recognised him.
Petrified Yvette Smith felt she was "going to die" when Luke Jones pointed a handgun at her head while she cashed up.
She recognised the voice of 29-year-old Jones, who was wearing a balaclava, as he had previously quizzed her on the cashing up procedure at Bargoed Snooker Club in December.
Incredible CCTV footage from behind the bar captured the moment Jones pulled off his mask to hug and console terrified Ms Smith.
