The poker player that also designed Transformers…

Its really funny how life is!  There I was bashing Transformers down in one of my previous posts and I get this guy writing to me, saying do you know that there is a poker player that also designed transformers?

Henry Orenstein, won a bracelet in the 1996 WSOP and has had many finishes in the money.  He is probably one of the oldest poker players around, even into his eighties he is still going strong.  After the Second World War he became a toymaker and managed convince the toy company Hasbro to produce Transformers…

Orenstein is the producer of the High Stakes Poker television show, which is probably what he is better known for in the poker world.  Next time I should maybe be a litlle more careful about running things down, especially in public.  You just never know what people have done with their lives and where they have been before.
