Greenstein Joins Team PokerStars

6 Jul 2006

ISLE OF MAN – (PRESS RELEASE) -- PokerStars.com, the world's largest poker tournament website, announced the addition of renowned poker player Barry Greenstein to Team PokerStars. Instead of taking from the rich and giving to the poor, Barry Greenstein takes on poker pros around the world dedicating 100 percent of his tournament winnings to charity. Ranked among the highest money winners on the World Poker Tour (WPT) circuit and top cash game players in the world, and he is respected and admired throughout the poker community.

"Since the last three winners of the WSOP main event are on Team PokerStars, and I plan to win it, I decided to show ultimate confidence in myself and join PokerStars ahead of time," said Greenstein.

The one-time software designer realized many years ago that he could make more playing cards than he could in the software industry. After leaving software company Symantec, Greenstein rose through the poker world to become one of its most well-known players and author of "Ace on the River." Greenstein brings to Team PokerStars 20 WSOP money finishes, two gold bracelets, and two recent first place finishes at the 2005 World Poker Open and at the 2006 World Poker Tour Invitational.

Known around the poker world as "the Robin Hood of poker," Greenstein has developed a much-deserved reputation as one of poker's most prolific philanthropists. His tournament winning donations are distributed to a variety of charities including Children Incorporated, a charity that provides for more than 15,000 children in 21 countries around the world.

"There are few princes in the world of poker, but Barry is one of them," said Lee Jones, poker room manager for PokerStars.com, "Not only is he a true ambassador for the sport, he brings integrity, talent and true passion for poker to Team PokerStars."

Team PokerStars is comprised of the most respected and prominent poker players in the world. They include well-known WSOP Champions, leading poker authors, TV commentators, philanthropists, and strategists.
