On one of the final hands of the level we found Bernard Lee check-calling 6,200 on a board to see the 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 . 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.
