Brian Hastings Wins His Second Bracelet Of The 2015 World Series of Poker

Heading into the 2015 World Series of Poker, there had been 13 consecutive years of double bracelet winners at the summer series. Early Sunday morning, that streak was extended to 14 when high-stakes poker pro Brian Hastings took down the $1,500 10-game mix event for $133,403 and his second bracelet in just ten days.

This was Hastings third career bracelet overall. His first was in the $10,000 no-limit hold’em heads-up event back in 2012 and his second was just over a week ago in the $10,000 seven card stud event. Although he made a name for himself by playing high-stakes online cash games, Hastings now has $1.8 million in career tournament earnings.

“Yeah I thought I’d win,” Hastings said. “You have to feel that way when you go into one of these, but I think I’m going to win almost every time I sit down and play.”

A total of 380 players entered the tournament, creating a total prize pool of $513,500. The event featured a mix of ten different poker disciplines including limit hold’em, no-limit hold’em, triple draw, no-limit 2-7 single draw, pot-limit Omaha, Omaha eight-or-better, stud, razz, stud eight-or-better and badugi.

Other notables at the final table included Todd Brunson (3rd), Alexey Makarov (4th), and Mike Watson (6th). Owais Ahmed (7th), Eric Wasserson (8th), Matt Glantz (10th), Bruno Fitoussi (12th), Ylon Schwartz (13th), Dan Kelly (15th), Quinn Do (16th) and Phil Hellmuth (17th) also made deep runs in the event.

Here is a look at the final table results.
