“Robin hood does good” could have been the title for event # 19, a $1,500 buy in Pot Limit Omaha tournament. Barry Greenstein, known by some in the poker world as the ‘Robin Hood’ of poker for his philanthropic deeds, won event #19 in style. Greenstein won his second WSOP bracelet by outplaying a final table that included Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, and Toto Leonidas. The bad boy of Poker, Phil Hellmuth missed the final table by one spot, and threw a tantrum worthy of a “final table bubble” finish. Greenstein won $128,505, which all went to charity as is his promise.
