'Moto' Doubles Through Lee

Motoyuki 'Moto' Mabuchi and Doug Lee have just gotten into their second confrontation of the day - this one resulting in a Mabuchi double up.

The hand saw Mabuchi make it 70,000 to go from under-the-gun and Lee made the call from the big blind. The flop came {9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and Lee check-called Moto's all-in bet, tabling {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades} which was good for top pair and a gutshot straight draw; Mabuchi revealed {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for an open-ended straight draw.

The {A-Spades} brought Mabuchi out of his seat, as it gave him the lead in the hand. "Deuce! Deuce!" Moto pleaded as he awaited the river and a deuce it was - the deuce of diamonds to be exact - and Moto raked in the pot, worth over 350,000 in chips.
