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. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

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.

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.

Barry's awesome, but that sweater is murder.

[/ QUOTE ]

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.

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

[/ QUOTE ]

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.

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