2008 WSOP Event 26 Winner Barry Greenstein

There is an old saying about people who hesitate and how they are completely screwed (in other words "he who hesitates is lost"). There is equally well known phrase that has become a part of the culture that simply celebrates patience as a virtue. Barry Greenstein saw both of these ideas put to the test on his rocky road to the Event #26 bracelet. Barry got through the first day of competition and found himself on top of the chip count at that point. Thanks to some people showing disdain for the practice of hesitation, he was bumped down to second place by the end of the second day.
