Barry Greenstein Wins LA Poker Classic Invitational

Barry Greenstein came out on top at the final event of the LA Poker Classic - the Invitational.

Greenstein, known as "The Robin Hood of Poker" for his generosity, donated his total prize money to charity. But he will keep the free $25,000 seat at the season-ending World Poker Tour Championship that came with the top prize.

The Invitational - a No-Limit freeroll poker tournament - featured over 300, invitation only, Hollywood celebs and some of the biggest names in poker.

WSOP winner Jennifer Tilly, "Seinfeld"’s Jason Alexander, and former "Saturday Night Live" news anchor Norm McDonald were some of the big names in action at the world’s largest land-based poker room, Commerce Casino in Los Angeles.

Other poker pros who competed included Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, and Mike "The Mouth" Matusow, among others.

Greenstein picked up a total prize of $100,000.
