Giant Crab Spider (Olios)
Looks like a Giant Crab Spider to me, Olios giganteus perhaps? Lets see what the others think.

 
O. giganteus?
I agree, certainly looks like O. giganteus, and the dark chelicerae/prominent heart mark suggest it according to the info page. There are a few with those features that weren't placed to species though.
