Lee Plays the Villain
Michael Mizrachi raised to 300,000 in early position and Daehyung Lee called in the cutoff. Mounir Tajiou then moved all in for 2,400,000 in the small blind and Mizrachi folded.
"If I go, I go. As it says in Rocky, 'if he dies, he dies," Tajiou said as he began playing James Brown's "Living in America" on his phone and dancing. Lee took a minute before calling to put Tajiou at risk.
Mounir Tajiou: J♣J♦
Daehyung Lee: A♠8♠
"I don't care. I would rather have it, but it's good," Tajiou said going to the flop, which came A♣6♠3♥ to give Lee the lead with top pair. The rest of the board ran out 2♦6♣ and Tajiou made his way around the table shaking all his opponent's hands before making his exit.
"You villain. How could you?" Albert Calderon joked with Lee.
