Some may think that poker is just a game and as every other game, it depends on luck and good mood. Well, they would be wrong - only those who show all the necessary qualities can make it into the big poker scene.

In his whole career Paul Lee added plenty of new tricks to his inventory and began to climb the mountain of success, and he really is climbing fast. For only 8 years he fininshed 1st five times and had 41 final tables.
Back in the year of 2004, there was a rumor that Paul Lee is giving up poker. What could make him do that? Maybe it was because so far he had only participated in small games and hadn’t managed to be as good as he wanted. Or maybe he simply needed to find another thing to lead his life. Of course that doesn’t really matter now because he didn’t quit playing and so far he hasn’t shown nothing less than entire devotion to poker. So expect his next big hit and may we all wish Paul Lee good luck!
