We are glad you are following along with our tournament coverage here on PokerNews.com; our next tournament reporting gig will be next week from Caesar's Palace. We will be bringing you all the action beginning Monday from the WSOP Circuit event at Caesar's.

Join our "A" team for the action. With all the pros in town for the Spring Poker Season, there should be quite a turnout for this Circuit Event.

Hand #60 - Guy Laliberte has the button in seat 2, and everyone folds to Lee in the big blind, giving him the blinds and antes.

Hand #61 - Carlos Mortensen has the button in seat 3, Lee limps from the small blind for 300,000, and Morrison checks his option. The flop comes {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}, and both players check. The turn card is the {Q-Hearts}, and they check again. The river card is the {6-Clubs}, and they check again. Lee shows 10-7 for ten high -- and Morrison can't beat it. Paul Lee takes the pot.

Paul "Doug" Lee?
Paul "Doug" Lee?
Linda Johnson has been referring to Paul Lee as "Doug" for the past two hours. She finally corrected her error, much to the delight of Mr. Lee. I think he started calling her Doug Johnson in protest until the First Lady of Poker finally wised up.
