Brian Hastings

Brian Hastings (cutoff) was heads-up against the player in the big blind on the turn of a Td9h8c7s board. There was just over 6,000 in the pot, and Hastings bet 3,000. His opponent spent a long while in the tank before calling.

The river was the 3c. It checked to Hastings again, and he bet 7,300. Once again, it took several minutes for a decision to come, but the big blind eventually called to see a showdown.

Hastings tabled AcJd to win the pot with a jack-high straight. He’s been steadily chipping up this afternoon, now approaching six figures.
