Hastings Heads South

We wish we'd seen more of this pot, but it was essentially over by the time we walked up. It involved Brian "Stinger 88" Hastings, and he had come up on the wrong end of a double-up pot against a player a few seats to his left.

The board showed {10-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {4-Spades} by the time we got there, and Mr. Opponent had flopped the world with {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}. Hastings' hand was already mucked when we got there, but it sounds like he was well in front when the money got in. Mr. Opponent was doing some chatting about a cold four-bet, so it sounds like he shoved his money in bad and got there against Hastings.

However it went, Stinger brushed it off as well as we've seen. "That's okay," he said. "I started the day with 20,000." That pot stole a significant chunk of his chips, but he's got 101,000 of them left to run back up.
