Hansen and Hastings have it out
Today's tour de force seems at most low, but that's only in token to some of the half-a billion plus pots we've had over the last academic year. The standard size of the largest pots at the time of choreography this on the nosebleed tables is in the $80,000 length. If you ask me, it's kind of sick to ideate of an $80,000 pot as cursory.

This is not the first impression time these two red name pro's have clashed, and it will not be the last by any stroke.

With Gus having both top pair, and 12 outs to the honestly, there was essentially no way he wouldn't be content to get it all in. If he wasn't eminent at the time, he had a overfullness of outs to get there. Hastings on the autre chose hand had an over-pair, which is even now a very nervy holding in PLO Cinemascope-handed and needed to guard against the draw.
Gus has been getting dealt a upbeat of top-methodized hands in this in session, with them all getting indicted in poker-faced pots. Just a few helm after this one Gus is dealt #Ah#Ks#8h#As, bringing down a $116,745 pot, sharp by Phil Galfond (OMGClayAiken).
