Mastorakos Sets Up To 50k

With a limp under the gun, Jim Mastorakos raised to 1,200 before the big blind popped it to 3,000. The UTG-player folded with Mastorakos making the call.

They saw a flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades} and the big blind led out for 5,000. Mastorakos made it 15,000 to go before the big blind moved all in over the top. Mastorakos made the call with his tournament on the line.

Mastorakos: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Opponent: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and river was the exclamation point as the {K-Spades} arrived to give Mastorakos a set and a huge double up. He's now up to 50,000 chips.
