It was quite an impressive performance put on by poker professional Brian Hastings. The high stakes young gun sat down on Full Tilt Poker table Pantheon and would amass a monster $428K+ stack over the next eight and half hours. On his way to his incredible win, Hastings took down five 6-figure pots — two of those pots worth $144K+ and $160K+. But even those two huge hands combined did not come close to the ridiculous $383K+ hand that Hastings took down against two of the best in the world. Those two players would be none other than Patrik “FinndaGrind” Antonius, who donked off $78K+ in the hand, and David Benyamine, who dropped over $152K in the hand.
Hastings would later on open up table Eginton and two-table the final two hours of his session. A $72K+ loss at that table left Hastings with a total $298K+ win during the day’s $200/$400 Pot-Limit Omaha action while Antonius ended with a $105K+ total loss. Benyamine, who had dropped over $168K on table Eginton after losing the gargantuan pot, was able to rake in some pots during other sessions to limit his day’s losses to just $112K+.
