2008 World Series of Poker

Congratulations to Barry Greenstein, Winner of Event #26 - $1,500 Razz ($157,619)

After three long days of play, Barry Greenstein has emerged as champion. Starting the day second in chips, Greenstein managed to avoid big confrontations and instead slowly accumulated chips. When play reached four handed, that’s when “The Bear” turned it on, quickly becoming chip leader. Greenstein hung onto that lead for most of the remainder of the tournament.

Adding to what will almost certainly be considered “the year of the pro,” Greenstein’s title adds to the already long list of respected full time professionals to pick up a bracelet at this year’s WSOP.

This is Greenstein’s third cash of this year’s WSOP, his second final table, and his impressive third WSOP bracelet. This win catapults him over the $6,000,000 in career earnings mark.

As usual, Greenstein was all business as he accepted the bracelet. In addition to the hardware, and a coveted place in history, Greenstein walks away with $157,619 in prize money.

Congratulations to Barry Greenstein for his victory in Event #26 - $1,500 Razz. One would be hard pressed to find a more skilled, dedicated or deserving champion.
