Event 17 (Day 3): Hastings Does It Again

Level 20 (Blinds 3,500/7,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 178
Players Remaining: 12
Chip Average: 445,000

Brian Hastings
Not long ago, Brian Hastings scored two knockouts in a span of three hands.

This time, he decided to just get both knockouts out of the way on the same hand.

Both Jesse Chinni and Jacob Bazeley were all-in pre-flop against Hastings, who was already holding the best hand. Bazeley had Ax 10x, Chinni had pocket Jx's and Hastings had pocket Kx's.

Not only did Brian's hand hold up, but he went ahead and made a set on the river for good measure. He now has well over 1.5 million of the 5.34 million chips in play.

Chinni and Bazeley each take home $4,471 for coming in 14th and 13th place. The next player eliminated will earn $5,331.
