Antonius Schools Hastings With $86K No-Limit Hold’em Win

High stakes professionals Patrik “FinddaGrind” Antonius and Brian Hastings were involved in some thrilling heads-up poker action. They actually started off on Full Tilt Poker table Dwan where they played $150/$300 No-Limit Hold’em buying in with deep $60K stacks. Antonius would take down a big $134K+ pot there en route to a $38K+ win after 75 minutes of action. That’s when they decided to move it over to table Vasari where Antonius would continue his domination by taking down the two all-in pots of $200/$400 NLH they played. Hastings would decided to quit after dropping another $48K+ over 80 minutes of play to leave Antonius with a total $86K+ win after 355 total hands.
