Hastings Hits A Double Up

It's been a rough day for 2012 bracelet winner Brian Hastings so far. He came into today with 167,000, but tweeted earlier that he lost a 160k pot when his queens lost to his opponent's jacks.

Well he was knocked down all the way to 25,000, but we just caught him doubling up through Scott Blackman. The two players got the chip in preflop with Blackman holding {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Hastings showed {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, and the flop was a dream for him, coming {8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Blackman would have to catch the {3-Spades} to win the pot, but the dealer didn't bringing any miracles, as the board completed {4-Diamonds} and {j-Spades}.

After that double up, Hastings is back up to 52,000.
