Event 17 (Day 2): Hastings Getting Healthy

Level 12 (Blinds 700/1,400/200)
Total Entries: 178
Players Remaining: 50

Brian Hastings (Ithaca, NY)

Walking up to Table 33, Brian Hastings and Sandy Boyd would be heads up and on the flop of 10♠ 5♣ 9♥.  The pre-flop action wasn't verified, but there was close to 20,000 in the pot already.  Hastings would put out a bet of 7,500 on the flop, and after giving a long look over at Brian, Boyd would make the call.

The board would pair on the turn with the 10♣, and Hastings would check.  Sandy would check back very quickly, and the dealer would place the 4♦ on the river.  Brian would look down at his chips, pick up a stack of grey chips, and place down a 40,000 bet. Sandy would make the call and Brian would turn over 10♦ 8♦.  Boyd's hand would go into the muck and Hastings would chip up to 150,000 with that pot.  Sandy would be left with 110,000 after absorbing the loss.

In elimination updates, one time Day 1B chip leader Tremayne Jernigan was erased from the field during the first few hands of Level 12.
