Consummate tournament professional Lee Watkinson enters the final table as its only WSOP bracelet winner. Considered one of, if not the best, Omaha players in the world, Lee owns the top spot on the WSOP all-time earnings list for Omaha tournaments. Superbly adept at Hold’em as well, Watkinson quietly dominates large tournament fields, relying heavily on his ability to read opponents. Watkinson gained world-wide notoriety last summer for his 8th place finish at the 2007 WSOP Main Event ($585,699). Lee enters the final table with 337,000 in chips – just 10,000 above the tournament average.
