Bernard Lee
Bernard Lee
Many of you may remember a player by the name of Bernard Lee from ESPN's coverage of the 2005 WSOP. Lee finished 13th that year, but much of his publicity was dedicated to the fact that he kept photos of family members on the table next to his chips, kissing them each time he moved all in.

Bernard is back again this year, and just experienced a situation that I'm sure all poker players can relate to.

Facing a 1,500 preflop raise from an opponent in early position, Bernard Lee squeezed his holecards and started to grin. After he got a complete view of his hand, he folded it face-up on the table, revealing {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}.

"I saw the hand and got all excited until I realized the four was just a four," Lee said. The table got a pretty good laugh out of the situation.

Lee, the family man that he is, also wanted to say "Hi" to Katie, Noah, and Myah, as well as all of the members of his home game who are all watching his progress from home. Don't worry kids -- Dad's doing pretty well so far. He's got right around 60,000 in chips.
