High stakes poker players Brian Hastings and Richard Ashby met up on Full Tilt Poker table Nabakov for some heads-up 7-Game mix action. Around 70 minutes later, they made it a two-table matchup with table Neptune. They played with $2000/$4000 limit stakes and $500/$1000 blinds for over two and a half hours as Hastings managed to win in almost every game. His only negative result came in Razz in which he lost $58K+ while winnings over $50K in every other game. That vaulted Hastings to a sweet $301K+ win after 395 total heads-up hands against Ashby.
