In early October, we all felt sure that Gus Hansen was to be the high stakes fish of the month, but he ended up winning over $1.3 million at Full Tilt Poker since then. In his latest, 11 hours long session, which he played against ‘Urindanger’, he won around $500,000.
In September, it was only Brian Townsend and his -$2,534,000 that stood between Hansen and the shameful title of High Stakes Fish of the Month, loosing “merely” $2,097,000 in online cash games. By 10th October, he lost $1,533,000, paving his way for actually being “honoured” this month – when he started winning. By the 24th, he decreased his losses by $1,344,000, winning $447,000 during his latest clash alone.
He played with Di ‘Urindanger’ Dang for 11 hours at $200/$400 and $500/$1,000 PLO Cap HU as well as 6-max tables. Dang lost around $332,000 while Hansen reduced his October losses to $189,000. This also means that it is now Ilari ‘Ziigmund’ Sahamies at the lower end of the profit list for this month with -$1,655,000. By the way, the leader will most probably be Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan with over $990,000 in profit as yet, way ahead of Andreas ‘Skjervoy’ Torbergsen ($755,000) and Patrik Antonius ($643,000).
There isn’t much time left until 31st October, but if he keeps up the good work, Hansen might well end up +EV this time.
