Brian Stinger885Hastings (pictured) came into the 2015 World Series of Poker making bet after bet on Twitter. A week ago, he won his second career gold bracelet in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship and collected more in bracelet bets than he won for first. On Saturday, he one-upped himself, winning another one and becoming the first repeat winner of the 2015 WSOP.

This time around, Hastings won a $1,500 Ten-Game Mix event for $133,000. The tournament drew 380 entrants and Hastings beat a final table that had several pros and two other bracelet holders. Hastings told WSOP staff after his latest win, “I really felt like it – yeah I thought I’d win. 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.”

Hastings’ first bracelet came in 2012 in the $10,000 Heads-Up No Limit Hold’em Championship. At one point, it seemed as if win #3 wasn’t in the cards, as Hastings was down 4:1 in chips heads-up against Rostislav Tsodikov, but battled back during the three-hour heads-up session.

If you’re not familiar with the genre, Ten-Game consists of Seven-Card Stud, Pot Limit Omaha, No Limit Hold’em, Razz, Badugi, Omaha High-Low Split, Limit Deuce-to-Seven Triple Draw, No Limit Deuce-to-Seven Single Draw, Limit Hold’em, and Seven-Card Stud High-Low Split. As Hastings put it, “I really pride myself on being able to play all of these games well.”

Also potentially pushing Hastings along this year is his girlfriend, who has been flying back and forth from Florida to watch her beau play. Hastings explained, “I think that’s one of the more underrated aspects of this game, having the balance between your personal life and what goes on at the tables. She really helps me believe in myself and I really love her a lot.”

Next up for Hastings is the $50,000 Poker Player’s Championship, another mixed game contest. He’ll try to add to his resume this year that includes five cashes, three final tables, and two wins. The tournament starts on Sunday at 4:00pm PT, so Hastings will have a pretty quick turnaround and ideally carry over some of his momentum.

Sixth place went to PocketFiver Mike SirWatts Watson (pictured). It was his third sixth place finish at this year’s WSOP and fifth cash. He Tweeted after busting, “Out in my usual spot. Sigh.” Watson, who has a degree in math from the University of Waterloo, has $1.1 million in career WSOP winnings and is still hunting for his first bracelet.

Here’s how the final six in the Ten-Game event cashed out:

1. Brian Stinger885Hastings – $133,403
2. Rostislav Tsodikov – $82,398
3. Todd Brunson – $52,977
4. Alexey Makarov – $35,130
5. Tim Reusch – $23,982
6. Mike SirWattsWatson – $16,846
