Don't Suppose You'd Want to Meet the Chip Leader?

Seeing as he has about a million-chip lead right now, it's probably a good time to introduce you to Raul Mestre.
A Spaniard, Mestre's bio lists his origin as Valencia, just a short drive south of here along the Mediterranean. His first cash on record comes from 2006, and he made the final three tables of Spain's WPT event in both 2007 and 2008. The latter came in the same year as his career-best cash, a final-table appearance in Prague during Season 5. All together, he has more than a quarter-million dollars in earnings, and he'll be looking to add some more significant coinage to that record with a deep run here this week.
