Team PokerStars Pro - Barry Greenstein

Barry Greenstein
PokerStars is proud to have Barry Greenstein, a true champion in poker and in life, as a member of Team PokerStars. The former software designer turned poker professional has won many tournaments, including World Series of Poker events, and is one of the most feared cash game players in the world.
Greenstein was working for the software company Symantec when he determined that he could make more money playing poker than he could continuing in the software industry. He quickly became one of the top players in the world, rising through the ranks and playing in some of the largest cash games in the world.
He has become a household name in poker circles in large part from his excellent track record on the World poker Tour circuit. With wins at the 2006 WPT Invitational and 2005 World Poker Open in Tunica, four final table appearances and over 10 in-the-money finishes, Greenstein is one of the most successful WPT players of all time.
The other main tournament group in the world of poker is of course the World Series of Poker. Barry has finished in the money over 30 times and holds three WSOP bracelets.
Though Greenstein has earned a great deal of money in his career, he hasn't wasted or horded most of it. As a matter of fact, he has given a great deal of it away. His nickname is the "Robin Hood" of poker, as he has developed a reputation as one of poker's biggest philanthropists. Greenstein usually donates 100% of his net tournament winnings to charity. Providing for over 15,000 kids in over 20 countries, Greenstein gives most of his winnings to Children Incorporated.
Greenstein also recently releases a new book, "Ace on the River".
