I think it is a ctenid but if, I had to guess, I'd say it's not Phoneutria. It looks a lot like this one -

was this inside your tent or outside?!
@salticus: Thanks for confirming.
@Chlidonias: Fortunately it was outside
But due to the massive amount of prey, I assume there were many, many more wandering spiders outside my tent during the night.
Next time I will most definitely spend more time looking for night hunting spiders, as this location is extremely remote and have so many fantastic and large spiders. I saw 2 more earlier that night when photographing bioluminescent beetle larvae on termite mounds, but I didn't bring my macro lens for that particular walk and thus no photos/IDs.
