Barry Greenstein, from Rancho Pal0s Verdes, CA, brings the experience of three WPT titles and three WSOP gold bracelets to today's final table. Often referred to as "The Robin Hood of Poker," Greenstein is notorious for donating a majority of his tournament winnings to various charities, the primary of which is Children, Incorporated.

Greenstein has a degree in computer science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He was engaged in the information technology industry with Symantec before retiring at age 36 to play poker for a living. He has also written a critically acclaimed poker book, Ace on the River.

Greenstein has almost $6 million in career tournament earnings, and is remembered fondly by the poker media for dedicating his win in the 2005 $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha WSOP event to Charlie Tuttle, who died of cancer a few days later.

Greenstein enters today's final table as one of two players who can, with a strong finish, take the lead in the Milwaukee's Best WSOP Player of the Year standings.
