Lee Doubles Through "Moto"

Former WSOP Circuit winner Doug Lee has just doubled up through the man they call "Moto," Motoyuki Mabuchi. The hand saw Mabuchi make it 33,000 to go from early position and the action folded around to Lee in the small blind, who moved all in for a total of 182,000.

"Double me up, man!" Lee said to Mabuchi as he pondered making the call. Moto eventually opted to make the call, tabling a pocket pair of fours and found himself racing against Lee's {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}.

Mabuchi held the lead after the flop, which came {6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, but the {J-Clubs} on the turn tipped the scales in favor of Lee, who dodged Mabuchi's outs on the {3-Diamonds} river to take down the pot, worth 370,000 in chips. Moto fell to 190,000 with the loss.
