my guess is Eusparassus walckenaeri.
Looks like a type Sparassidae (aka "huntman").
Its a kind of Corridor spider....!!
I read that wolf spiders have a bottom row of eyes. This one has an upper row. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_spider
It might be what we call Wolf Spider http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Wolf+Spider&qpvt=Wolf+Spider&FORM=IGRE Nice Pictures!
