"P*ta libre!"

Thus were the words of Luis Merino after he doubled up "Ace on the River" author and Team PokerStars Pro Barry Greenstein in one of the first major hands of the day.

"I had the book in my hands!" he cried, after a {Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Spades}{K-Hearts} board gave Barry a pot-clinching two pair (kings and queens), saving him from early elimination. With the win, Barry now sits with right around 16,000 in chips - almost triple the 5,825 that he started the day with.
