Open Aces Fail Hastings

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Brian Hastings
Brian Hastings

Brian Hastings completed with the {a-Spades} and got two calls. He picked up another ace on fourth and went with a standard-sized bet, chasing away Yueqi Zhu but leaving him heads up with Eli Berg. Berg paired his starting card by making open sixes on fifth, and that slowed Hastings down. He check-called fifth and sixth.

Hastings: {x-}{x-}/{a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{j-Spades}/{x-}
Zhu: {x-}{x-}/{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} - fold
Berg: {x-}{x-}/{6-Clubs}{k-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}/{x-}

Berg bet into the dangerous board one more time, and Hastings thought a bit before paying off. Berg showed {6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for sixes full of kings.

Helppi Wins a Sizeable Pot

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Quite the pot was brewing between John Racener and Juha Helppi when we caught the action on sixth street.

Helppi: {x-}{x-}/{k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}/{x-}
Racener: {x-}{x-}/{2-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}/{x-}

Racener bet on sixth and called a raise from Helppi. On seventh, Racener check-called a bet and mucked when Helppi turned over a flush with {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

Queens Up vs. Queens Up

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Shirley Rosario bet the last two streets against Phil Hui with an open pair of tens, and Hui called.

Rosario: {x-}{x-}/{10-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}/{x-}
Hui: {x-}{x-}/{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{q-Spades}/{x-}

"Queens," Rosario said, showing {q-}{q-}{j-}.

Hui showed he had queens up also, flashing {q-}{8-}.

Hastings and Monnette Show Before Break

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

With players now heading on a 15-minute break, John Monnette and Brian Hastings are two of the recent entrants.

Hastings had one of the strongest summers in recent memory in 2015 when he pocket a pair of bracelets. He followed that up with another solid showing in 2016 with three top-20 finishes highlighted by a fourth-place finish in $10,000 Razz Championship. However, he abruptly made an announcement that he was stepping away from the game to focus on a new business and has been notably absent from the 2017 WSOP.

He made a return for a $1,500 no-limit event a few days ago, finishing 16th. We'll keep an eye on him in this $10,000 Stud Championship to see if Hastings can make his presence felt in a shorter WSOP stay.
