Spanish Student Wins PartyPoker.com Late Night Ace

24-year-old Spaniard Raul Mestre has won the second PartyPoker.com Late Night Poker Ace, taking home an enormous $50,000 first place prize.

Mestre, who hails from Valencia beat off a number of top amateur poker players to take the title and subsequently qualified for the PartyPoker.com Late Night Poker Masters tournament, where he locked horns with some of the strongest professionals in the game.

Mestre, a chemistry student, was naturally delighted with the win but also acknowledged that his skills were helped along with a little bit of luck. 'There were two times when I went all-in with just a 50 per cent chance of winning and luckily I won both times,� admitted Mestre. �This is the way poker works, it is a game of skill but sometimes you cannot avoid taking risks.�

The triumph became the biggest win the talented Spaniard has had to date and he now plans to play in future live tournaments.

'Raul made a huge impact on everybody at the tournament,� said a PartyPoker.com spokesman. �He made some truly breathtaking plays and clearly has a big future on the circuit. This Raul is not king of the Bernabeu, he's king of the green baize.'
