Hastings is a 19 year old student at Cornell, who unlike many young pro’s is still pursuing his education. Hastings is an engineering major, and plans on finishing school and pursuing a career in engineering while allowing poker to make a nice side income. With a bankroll in the hundreds of thousands, I would say it will provide a great side income for him.
