Barry Greenstein wins PokerStars High Stakes Showdown

August 20th, 2007

Sure, the turnout was tepid at only 4 players, likely due to the the recent account shenanigans and competing tournaments, but it’s still not every day you hear of an honest-to-goodness live poker pro taking down an online win.

That’s what happened this Sunday, as PokerStars sponsored pro Barry Greenstein beat out a massive field of 3 other players in the $10,000 buy in affair to walk away with $25,000 and the win. Second went to UGOTPZD.
