WSOP Update: A Hand for Charlie Tuttle

filed under Poker : WSOP 2005

barrygreenstein.jpgBarry Greenstein won last night’s #19 $500 Pot-Limit Omaha event at the WSOP(yep…still going), but this time made this win more special than some of his other victories. The altruistic Greenstein donates most of his winnings to charities, thanks to a healthy bank roll and a good heart. In recent months, a popular poker blogger named Charlie Tuttle has suffered from cancer treatments and the rest of the army of poker blogheads have rallied around him in the hopes of cheering up his spirits. Well, it worked. Not only did Mr. Tuttle receive phone calls from professional players Marcel Luske, Max Pescatori, John Juanda and Greenstein—but Greenstein dedicated his win last night to the ailing Tuttle as well. Read the full rundown of the WSOP events at Las Vegas and Poker Blog.
