The chips were very close and when it was counted down, Gross' all in was for 472,000.

Down to 16,000, Selbst busted two hands later with {5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Gross woke up with another big pair, {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}, and scored the win when the board ran out {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}.

Hastings Moving On; Defeats Singh

Brian Hastings
Brian Hastings

Brian Hastings built up his lead in chips, leading to Amritraj Singh using his lammers before Hastings closed out the match.

Following a {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop, Hastings checked to Singh who bet 28,000. Hastings popped it to 75,000 before Singh moved all in for his remaining 210,000. A call from Hastings revealed {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a flush draw, trailing Singh's {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for top pair and a smaller flush draw.

The {6-Hearts} turn improved Hastings' chances a bit and sure enough the {6-Spades} hit the river, giving Hastings trips to win the pot and advance to the Elite Eight.

He awaits the winner of Vanessa Selbst vs. Jeffrey Gross.
