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.

Hands #60-61

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.

WPT Sweetie Sabina Gadecki has some special guests in the audience -- her parents. It's their first trip to Vegas, and they're having a great time watching their daughter shine.

They originally had corner seats in the side bleachers, but during the first break they moved to the center bleachers to sit with Season 4 WPT Player of the Year Gavin Smith.

The WPT's new comedian and the money presentation girls give out some WPT swag
The WPT has added a comedian to their payroll to keep the spirits up in the crowd before the show and during the breaks. He'll ask poker trivia questions and give away WPT t-shirts and things like that.

During this break, Gavin Smith joined him along with some scantily clad women to show off his new Mike Sexton WPT bottle opener (open a beer and it says, "Welcome to the World Poker Tour!")
