Poker Vox Pop: Bernard Lee

Bernard Lee
Bernard Lee

On one of the final hands of the level we found Bernard Lee check-calling 6,200 on a {3-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{Q-Spades} board to see the {Q-Clubs} land on the river. Lee was then faced with a 7,500-chip bet which - after deliberating for some time - he called only to muck at the sight of his opponent's {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}. Although Lee slipped to 16,000 after the hand, he happily took a few moments of his time to take part in the next Poker Vox Pop instalment.

Favorite Game?
No-Limit Hold'em, but 2-7 is catching.

Favorite WSOP Event?
The $10,000 Main Event.

Favorite Hand?
Aces.

WSOP Event you most want to win?
The $10,000 Main Event.

Will Phil Ivey play an event at this World Series?
No.

Most admired poker player?
Joe Hachem. I believe that the unofficial responsibility of the Main Event Champion is to be a great ambassador for the game, and Joe has been the best since Chris Moneymaker.

Smith Soars, Binger Crippled

With an all in of 6,400, Jordan Smith three-bet before Nick Binger moved all in. Smith made the call for his 33,100 as all three players cards were tabled.

Binger: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Smith: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{8-Spades}

The board was spread {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} to see the short-stacked player triple as Smith took the side pot to move to 66,000 while Binger was left with only 15,000.
