David Lee Wants to Play With "Anyone I Can Beat"
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
David Lee is a regular at the Horseshoe Tunica and is in the field today for the RGPS Tunica Main Event Day 1A. He's from Memphis, TN and says he travels to tournaments that are within 5-6 hours but nothing much beyond that.
He also said he appreciates when a tournament is close to home so he can sleep in his own bed. He works in the lighting business. He's been married for 22 years and has three kids.
As part of the Showbound season, the RGPS is giving players a chance to play on Poker After Dark. The first step in that process for Lee will be to make the Main Event final table.
When asked who he'd like to play with if he makes it on to Poker After Dark, Lee replied, "anyone I can beat."
