BOSTON, Mass. —Professional poker player and media personality Bernard Lee will this month introduce a televised version of The Bernard Lee Poker Show to celebrate its fifth anniversary. Three episodes of the show, each featuring a superstar in the poker world, will air on Comcast SportsNet New England and DirectTV starting May 7.
Lee, a Wayland resident, has won nearly $2 million and three titles on the tournament circuit. The Harvard University and Babson College graduate worked as a senior marketing/new business development manager at a Massachusetts Fortune 500 company before finishing 13th — New England’s top finisher — in the 2005 World Series of Poker. Recognized as “the voice of poker in New England” by Cardplayer.com, Lee is known worldwide as a poker media personality.
The televised version of The Bernard Lee Poker Show will air Monday nights at 8:30 p.m. with repeats on Sunday afternoons at 1:30 p.m. The May schedule is as follows:
- May 7 – Chris Moneymaker, the 2003 WSOP main event champion whose victory led to a “poker boom;”
- May 14 – Dennis Phillips, the chip leader of the original 2008 WSOP “November Nine” final table whose St. Louis Cardinals cap and white shirt are legendary; and
- May 21 – Phil Hellmuth, the 1989 WSOP main event champion whose victory landed him into record books as the youngest at age 24 and earned him the nickname “poker brat.”
The televised version of The Bernard Lee Poker Show coincides with the launch of the Bernard Lee Poker YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/bernardleepoker. The shows, with additional outtakes, will be posted to the YouTube channel one week after their televised premieres.
