You've Got To Know When To Hold 'Em...

The final round of the World Series of Poker just kicked off and hedge fund manager David Einhorn has made it to the final table of 8. Einhorn, who tweets with the handle @davidein, is playing for charity at the Big One for One Drop tourney . He's not the only one tweeting from the table, though.
