Barry Greenstein brings two WPT titles and two WSOP gold bracelets to today's final table. Sometimes called "The Robin Hood of Poker," Greenstein is best known for periodically donating his tournament winnings to various charities, the primary of which is Children, Incorporated, a non-profit international organization assisting children of all races and creeds, administering to their physical, emotional, and educational needs. Greenstein has a degree in computer science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and studied for a PhD in mathematics that he never completed. 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.
