Playing some deep-stacked $200/$400 No-Limit Hold’em, high stakes poker professional Brian Hastings booked two successful heads-up sessions. His first win came against “present” in their 90 minute battle over on Full Tilt Poker table Albion. Raking in six of the top seven hands, Hastings was able to pick up over $89K before his opponent left the table. A couple of hours later, Benyamine battled Hastings on table Ahern for just under half an hour. Another $38K in winnings there would leave Hastings with a total $127K+ win after 336 hands of action.
