ITom Lee has worn many hats in his life: immigrant, helicopter pilot, real estate broker. He was born in Vietnam and now lives in Denver, Colorado. He says poker is a hobby, along with chess and running. At least one of those hobbies, the one involving cards, has made him a lot of money. Lee has cashed in more than a dozen major tournaments in both Limit and No-Limit Hold 'em since 2001. That hobby has earned him more than $480,000 in just a few short years. Lee went on quite a run in 2004, making several final tables at major events. At The Bicycle's Legends of Poker event, Lee made the final table of the No-Limit Hold'em Championship. He went out in sixth place, winning more than $99,000. In 2007, Lee made two final tables at one WPT event, the L.A. Poker Classic. It seems his hobby is still quite profitable.
