Max Greenwood is with us today from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He is a 23-year-old college student playing in his third WSOP. In his first year he failed to cash, but he racked up three in-the-money finishes last year and has already cashed in one event this year. Max says if he wins today, he plans on buying himself a nice house.
