Hastings Now Up Over Where He "Should've Been"
During the last level, Daniel Negreanu, who is at a table adjacent to Brian Hastings, asked the recent bracelet winner how many chips he had, to which Hastings replied, "65K, but I lost a few four-bet pots so I really should have 80."
Negreanu laughed but Hastings has seemed to just tell the future, as he's now well up and over the 80,000 chip mark after taking in a smaller pot.
On a board of an opponent checks to Hastings, who is on the button, and he bets 5,000.
His opponent calls and both players check the river card.
Hastings' opponent tables for middle pair. It's no good as Hastings tables for top pair.
The pot is relatively small but Hastings' stack is anything but, as he's now playing 95,000, well above where he "should have been" prior to the last break.
