Jim Mastorakos Eliminated in 19th Place ($7,380)

Jim Mastorakos opened with a raise to 40,000 from early position before Ray Sukkar popped it up to 180,000 from the button. Mastorakos moved all in for a little more and Sukkar made the call.

Mastorakos: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Sukkar: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The flop all but ended the hand when it arrived {4-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} giving Sukkar a set. Mastorakos had backdoor draws but it wasn't to be as the turn fell the {8-Clubs} and river the {3-Spades} to end Mastorakos' tournament in 19th place for $7,380.
