Score One for Robin Hood

[user24788]

Although Barry Greenstein busted out in 7th place, a percentage of his $259,296 in winnings will be going to charity. Not only does he donate most of his prize money, he also gives away an autographed copy of his book "Ace on the River" to the player who knocks him out. Amnon Filippi collected his bounty prize today.

In a city filled with card sharks, it's nice to see someone with a big heart such as Barry Greenstein. Score one for the good guys.
