Gus Hansen to Profit Once Again?

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.
