So playing at the Borgata 1-2 NL, and they call BG - for 30/60 mix NL game. BG for 30/60 mix NL. Not 60 seconds later a gentleman who all to clearly looks exactly like poker great Barry Greenstein walks past my table towards the High Limit room....
By my calculations the buy in for 30/60 should be MINIMUM around 12K. Chump change for a player like Greenstein, but being that it was a mixed game, It very could be a well known tuning some skills in the spectrum of his game.
About three other people at the table concurred, that the gentleman who walked past looked EXACTLY like Greenstein. And there probly isnt a list of "BG"s playing mixed NL at the borgata with a quick 12-15K to throw around to be sure....

Barry has stopped giving away his book when eliminated from tournaments.

That funny...Lou Krieger owes me a signed book from when I KO'd him from a Pro-Am trny on royal vegas poker many years ago. Royal Vegas told me they were "out of stock" and I only got a cash bounty. But in the Pro-Am advertisement it stated you would get both!!
Im still a little bitter about that one.

Was it a bearded version of Barry Greenstein?

Lou Krieger, one of poker's finest people, pasted away a couple of years ago.
