Brian Hastings
Brereton raised to 50,000 from middle position and Hastings moved all in from the hijack for about 350,000. Action folded around to Tom Gleason in the big blind who moved all in for less. Brereton called and the hands were tabled.
Brereton – A
K
Hastings – 4
4
Gleason – QQ
The board ran out AK896 and Brereton raked in the pot.
Tom Gleason
7th – Brian Hastings – $9,947
8th – Tom Gleason – $7,842
Gerard Donaghy
No one called.
The cards were tabled and Donaghy had 5 4, while McNulty was holding the K Q. There was no help for the small cards as the board ran out 10 3 3 8 2.
Donaghy hit the rail, but didn’t seem immiserated. He was in an a freeroll thanks to the Palm Beach Kennel Club. He has been doing super well in the daily tournaments here.
“Not too bad for a complete freeroll.” Luke Brereton said as Donaghy made his exit.
Ian O’Hara had his 284,000 into the middle with pocket sixes against Luke Brereton’s pocket nines. However, the flop fell 6-6-5, giving O’Hara quads.
The very next hand, Brian Hastings shoved for 211,000 with J-J and was called by the K-Q off suit of Gerard Donaghy. The jacks held, and Hastings had more chips.
Evan Teitelbaum
Donaghy raised to 45,000 form middle position and Evan Teitelbaum called from the big blind to see a flop of A Q J. Teitelbaum check-called Donaghy’s 106,000 bet to see the K on the turn. Teitelbaum then bet 345,000 and Donaghy called to see the 4 on the river. Teitelbaum then announced he was all-in for 506,000. Donaghy checked his cards and called.
Teitelbaum has turned an Ace-high flush holding A 8 and smashed Donaghy’s two pair of Queens and Jacks.
Donaghy is down to about 260,000 while Teitelbaum now has around 1.5 million.
“You are about where you were yesterday,” Brian Hastings said in reference to Teitelbaum’s Day 2 chiplead.
On a flop of K J 3, Evan Teitelbaum bet 82,000, and Gerard Donaghy made the call. The turn brought the A.
Action went check-check.
The J on the river prompted a 180,000-chip bet from Donaghy.
Teitelbaum instantly folded. Donaghy tabled K-10 for two pair.
Brian Hastings
On Day 2 Hastings was short-stacked and all-in for his tournament life twice and twice rivered a straight to stay alive. Today, it appears things will be no different.
Eric Blair raised from the cutoff with J J and Hastings shoved all-in for his last 110,000 from the button with A 4.
Hastings picked up a monster flop when the dealer spread A A K and Blair was drawing thin to secure the first knock out of the final table. After the 7 opened on the turn Hastings was in even better shape to double up and the table watched in astonishment as the A fell on the river to Hastings Quad-Aces.
“He just won’t die,” Brereton said as Hastings chipped up.
Eric Blair had the button and shoved for 487,000. Brian Hastings, who was in the blinds, put his chips into the middle. The cards were tabled.
Blair: 8-8
Hastings: A 5
The board ran out K 7 4 K 4, and Blair doubled up to nearly 1 million, while Hastings was down to around 140,000.
Gerard Donaghy
Donaghy raised to 45,000 from the hijack seat and John McNulty three-bet to 150,000 from the cutoff. Luke Brereton thought a couple of moments before four-betting to 200,000 from the button.
Donaghy snap-shoved all-in for 647,000 and it was McNulty’s turn to ponder his next move.
“How much do you have,” McNulty asked Brereton.
Brereton replied with a shrug and said “About 1.2.”
McNulty decided to let his cards go, Brereton did the same and Donaghy added a few more chips to his stack.
The remaining nine are now grinding with blinds at 10,000-20,000 with a 3,000 ante.
The average stack is 796,667.
John McNulty
42 and McNulty check-called Brereton’s 40,000 bet.
The turn brought the J and McNulty again check-called, this time Brereton’s 84,000 bet. The river was the A and both players checked.
McNulty revealed AJ and took the pot.
