Closed Book
After remaining as patient as a saint in a staring contest, Barry Greenstein was rewarded with a welcome double through when he hopped on a flight with the American Airlines.
All in for - I believe - 4,255 with 
, Greenstein found himself up against 
, but survived a scare-free 
board to double through to just under the 9,000 mark.
I sensed that perhaps they had a last-longer bet (or a similar wager), as Greenstein alerted Tom Dwan (who is seated on the neighbouring table) of his triumph, adding with a mischievous smile, "You know what I had."
Either way, the book 'Ace on the River' underneath Greenstein's chair remains closed, and it will be left for someone else to snap up the literary reward. Unless, of course, Greenstein snags his fourth bracelet to date.
