Walsh Tames Mastorakos

Lisa Walsh opened with an under-the-gun raise to 4,000. Jim Mastorakos put in the call from the small blind, and it was heads up.

The dealer spread out the first three cards: {10-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}. Walsh continued out with 5,050 chips, and Mastorakos came along.

The turn card came the {9-Clubs}, and both players checked.

The river brought the {J-Clubs}. Mastorakos grabbed control of the betting now, putting out 12,000 chips. Walsh wasn't going anywhere though, as she came over the top of her opponent, raising to 40,000. That was enough to get Mastorakos out, slipping his cards into the muck. He has taken a step back to 60,000, while Walsh has bumped her stack up to 150,000.
