Mastorakos Doubles Through

Michael Wehner got it started with a raise to 8,500. Both Jim Mastorakos and Lisa Walsh called, and it was three-handed to the flop.

It showed up: {4-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {J-Clubs}, and all three players checked.

The turn brought the {K-Clubs} and all the action. Walsh led out with a bet of 18,000 chips, which was enough to get Wehner out. Mastorakos wasn't going anywhere though. He reraised to 45,000, prompting Walsh to move all in. Mastorakos made the call, and it was he who was all in for his last 81,000 chips.

Showdown:
Walsh: {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}
Mastorakos: {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

Despite turning top pair, Walsh was left drawing completely dead to her opponent's set of jacks. The river was an unimportant {6-Spades}, and Lisa Walsh sent a double-up over to Jim Mastorakos. He is up to 225,000, while she has fallen to just 28,000.
