Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Limits: 100,000-350,000

Philip Sternheimer raised to 250,000 from early position with Bruno Furth calling from the next seat. When it folded to Brian Hastings on the button he squeezed all in for roughly 600,000, which only Furth called.

Brian Hastings: A♠9♠4♦3♠ All in
Bruno Furth: A♦10♦4♣3♥

If Hastings were to win this all-in, he would be right back in the mix and no longer the short-stack of the final table. The board came 9♣3♦5♠10♠Q♠, which was favorable for Hastings as he rivered a flush to double-up again.

Brett Slezak

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Limits: 100,000-350,000

Brian Hastings opened the cutoff to 225,000 and Magnus Edengren snap-called in the small blind. In the big blind, Philip Sternheimer weighed his options before he elected to just call, although the three-bet face was in effect.

On the 8♣7♥6♦ flop, Sternheimer led for 250,000 from the big blind, Hastings moved all-in for 1,475,000, and Edengren instantly moved in for 1,675,000. Sternheimer put his head in his hands as he faced a tough decision.

"This would have been so much easier if I just potted pre," lamented Sternheimer, before he folded.

Brian Hastings: A♥9♣6♣5♥ All in
Magnus Edengren: A♣10♥3♠2♣

Edengren had the nut low while Hastings had the straight. The 10♣ turn gave Edengren a flush draw for the scoop, except for the seven of clubs which would give Hastings a straight flush. The K♥ bricked off on the river as the pot was chopped.
