He's cashed 13 times at the WSOP including 8 final tables (one of which was the WSOP main event in 2003 when he took 9th place). Singer is the only player to return to the final table from last year's inaugural $50K H.O.R.S.E. event. He's also made two WPT final tables. David is looking to win his first bracelet.

Seat 8 - Barry Greenstein - 750,000
Barry Greenstein is considered one of the best poker players in the world. It doesn't matter if it is a cash game or in a tournament, Greenstein is going to be one of the best players at the table. He also has the biggest heart in poker and donates some of his tournament winnings to multiple charities such as Children Incorporated. Greenstein cashed three times at the 2007 WSOP and has 31 lifetime cashes at the WSOP. He has won two WSOP bracelets and made nine WSOP final tables. He's also won two WPT events and earned more than $5M in tournaments over his career. That doesn't include how much he's won in cash games. Barry Greenstein dedicated his last bracelet (2005 Pot-Limit Omaha) to Charlie Tuttle, a young player and fan, who died of cancer a day later.
