Mastorakos: needing some energy after that workout

Jim Mastorakos went through the highs and lows of tournament poker in back-to-back hands just before the dinner break.

Mastorakos took out David Chilcott after Chilcott moved all in with {a-Clubs}

{a-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

but couldn't outdraw the {k-Spades}

{k-Spades}

{k-Hearts}

of Mastorakos on a board that read {j-Diamonds}

{j-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

{q-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

.

David Saab then doubled through Mastorakos in the very next hand; Saab moved all in with pocket jacks and was flipping for his tournament life against Mastorakos' {a-?}

{a-?}

{k-?}

.

The board ran out eight-high and after all the action, Mastorakos is on 660,000.
