Brian Hastings Eliminated in 8th Place (�54,810)
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Brian Hastings has become the first casualty of the second round after Michael Mizrachi lived up to his nickname "The Grinder" and really ground down Hastings.
Down to less than 120,000, Hastings moved all in with 
and Mizrachi snapped him off with 
. The flop was a pretty final 
and Hastings was drawing dead when the 
landed on the turn. The inconsequential 
was the river card and with that we are down to three tables.
