Sahamies Bests Hastings With $134K Win In $500/$1000 HA

After ending their $200/$400 PLO action, Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies and Brian Hastings continued to battle it out in a heads-up game of $500/$1000 Pot-Limit Hold’em/Omaha. They played their 50-minute match over on Full Tilt Poker table Ivey Mix as Sahamies took down a monster $291K Hold’em pot. After unsuccesfully attempting to play more tables against his opponent, Hastings decided he had enough and left the table with over $134K in losses to Sahamies. The win gave Sahamies over $307K in winnings after 225 total hands against Hastings.
