Hastings Bombs the River
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action folded to Artashe Kartaly on the button, and he raised to 2,500. The small blind folded, and Brian Hastings made the call in the big blind.
Both players checked to the turn after the J♥3♥2♣ flop, which brought the A♦. Hastings then checked to Kartaly, who bet 2,000. Hastings then raised to 12,000, which Kartaly called.
The river was the Q♣ and Hastings fired a hefty bet of 45,000. Kartaly gave it some thought, before deciding to fold, and showed the A♠ as he tossed his cards in the muck.
