Brian Hastings Eliminated in 11th Place ($17,184)

Under the gun, Brian Hastings came in with a raise to 48,000, and the action came around to Jim Harnden in the big blind. He made another raise to 120,000 total, and that drew a short pause from Hastings. He had just about 500,000 to start the hand, and he eventually committed his full stack with {J-Clubs} {J-Spades} . Harnden snap-called with the crushing {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} , though, and Hastings was drawing slim for survival.

There was no help for "Stinger 88" on board as it came {8-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} . The rest of the field can breathe just a bit easier now as the dangerous pro has been sent off. He'll take $17,184 for his work — worth a handful of big blinds at the nosebleed stakes he's accustomed to playing.
