Hastings Out

We walked past Brian Hastings' table, only to see that Hastings is MIA.

According to David Singontiko, Hastings four-bet jammed holding {a-}{10-} and was racing against an opponent's {6-}{6-}. The sixes held, and Hastings hit the rail.

Waking Up With Aces

Peter Hotaling was all in and at risk preflop for his last 20,000 chips.

"I only looked at one," he announced, turning over the {a-Clubs}.

His opponent tabled {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, and Hotaling grimaced.

That is until Hotaling turned over his other card - the {a-Diamonds} - and shot back in his chair.

"I swear to god I didn't look!" he blurted.

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, and Hotaling doubled.

A Pair of Nines Beats Hastings

In this battle of two World Series of Poker gold bracelet winners, David Singontiko checked the {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{K-Hearts} board, and Brian Hastings fired 12,000. Singontiko took a few moments, then called.

The river was the {4-Diamonds}, and Singontiko checked. Hastings bet 27,000, and Singontiko tank-called.

"I have a three," said Hastings. Singontiko then tabled the {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for a pair of nines and won the pot.

Julius Four-Bets

The action folded to Ryan Julius, who opened to 3,000 from middle position. The player in the cutoff called, and the player on the button three-bet to 8,500. Both blinds released, and the action was back on Julius.

Julis studied the three-bettor, then reached for orange T5,000 chips and four-bet to 21,000. Both of his opponents folded, and Julius picked up the pot without a showdown.

Patel Doubles Opponent, Then Gets It Back

Hiren Patel
Hiren Patel

From middle position, Hiren "Sunny" Patel raised to 2,800. The cutoff seat flat-called, then the button reraised all in for 4,200. Action folded back to Patel, and he reraised to 9,400. That knocked the cutoff seat out of the hand and left Patel heads up with the all-in opponent.

Patel showed the {K-Spades}{8-Spades} and was live against his opponent's {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. After the board ran out {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}, the player nearly tripled up.

On the very next hand, Patel raised to 2,800 again, and the same player reraised all in for 14,900. Play folded back to Patel, and he did some math in his head before calling.

This time, Patel held a pair with the {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and was ahead of the {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for his opponent. The flop, turn and river kept Patel's ducks in front when the {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{Q-Spades} fell, and he won the pot to send the player to the rail.
