[West]

I didn't really see this anywhere, and since I enjoy the fact that you post here, let me say congrats on your WSOP Omaha bracelet.

[La Brujita]

Seconded. Nice one.

Barry is quite simply a pimp.

He also dedicated the win to an internet player suffering from cancer named Charlie. After reading the article on cardplayer I can't think of any other poker player I can respect more than Barry Greenstein. I hope he busts Daniel's ass in the remaining heads-up matches.

WTG Barry!

[Overdrive]

Barry is THE MAN. No contest. End of story.

[Jordan Olsommer]

You've gotta respect a man who has the balls to:

a) donate all of his tournament winnings to a cause larger than himself;
b) publish his book on his own when nobody else would print it up to his standards;
and c) wear a COSBY SWEATER at the final table!

Go Barry!

[NLfool]

yeah congrats barry what your girlfriend must've said something about the sweater /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Alex/Mugaaz]

Barry's awesome, but that sweater is murder.

[Russ McGinley]

I think Barry might have inadvertently agreed to wear it after a brief conversation with a low talker.

[mosquito]

Way to go, Barry G!

[NYCNative]

Maybe he got it from Freddy Deeb...

[Malagant]

Freddie Deeb made 129k so far this World Series selling shirts and sweaters.

[jdock99]

Congratulations, you just won a World Series bracelet playing pot limit omaha and are now only down $370,000 for the week in that game.

Greenstein then took the announcer’s microphone and dedicated the win to a young Clarksville, Tennessee poker player named Charlie who is battling cancer. Greenstein had just heard about the young man a few days earlier, and had spent some time talking with Charlie. As Greenstein told the spectators and the ESPN cameras of his dedication, he spoke haltingly, clearly overcome with emotion. (from pokerwire)

as most of us already know that he donates ALL his tournament winnings to charity, i think he deserves to win more bracelets. kudos to barry. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[jusander]

hmm.. What can I say, brilliant poker player and awesome guy.

I think Charlie os a friend or has become a friend of Felicia Lee and has been mentioned in her blog (I think he has a blog as well) I think Marcel has been taking an interest and visiting him as well.

Seriously, congrats Barry. You're awesome. Adopt me.

WHAT???? You guys don't like that sweater?

Don't pay any attention to them Barry, as they oviously have
no taste in clothes whatsoever. You look just FABULOUS in
that sweater!

Suerte,
Jonathan

ps. Where'd you get it? I'd like one just like it! Seriously.

[Rock27]

I concur - you're a class guy Barry G. Well done.

You forgot to finish the story. In one of the side games, Freddie won some 76ers jerseys off Ivey and a bunch of leather jackets from Daniel. I really don't want to see Freddie wearing any of that.

Barry's sweater is straight-up GQ style for all you haters out there! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Amazingly archetectural...

[byronkincaid]

i read somewhere that barry was playing 2 different tables at once. can anyone confirm? are you allowed to multitable the WSOP?

[Kevmath]

He lost a headsup match for 500K to Daniel Negreanu.

Kevin...

[meow_meow]

Damn, I actually like that sweater.
I must be getting old.

Hell of a lot classier than those poor sods in the full-tilt jerseys.

And also a decent sense of humor and good taste in music. Go visit his website, and check out Phil H's profile if you want to know more.

[FeliciaLee]

This is something I'd like to talk about in the future, but I feel that it is too overwhelming to discuss right now.

Barry has become a very good friend of mine. Charlie was someone I was just getting to know. I'm so ecstatic that his heroes called him and made his last week joyful. Max Pescatori, Barry Greenstein, Marcel Luske, John Juanda, Erik Seidel, Chip Jett, Jennifer Harman and many others went out of their way to give Charlie a terrific farewell.

I have finally finished the series of "Barry" posts that I promised a month ago. I knew it would be hard for me to write, so I did it slowly, when I felt that it wouldn't be too overwhelming.

Here are the three posts, I hope you enjoy the story.

Barry (Part One) (http://felicialee.blogspot.com/2005/07/barry-greenstein.html)
Barry (Part Two) (http://felicialee.blogspot.com/2005/07/barry-greenstein-part-ii.html)
