Final Table Bios: Seat 6, Barry Greenstein (1,955,000)
Greenstein has a degree in computer science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. 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.
Greenstein enters today's final table as one of two players who can, with a strong finish, take the lead in the Milwaukee's Best WSOP Player of the Year standings.
