EPT Copenhagen S5: Gus Hansen's Weigh In on PokerStars.tv
Bookmakers have decided Theo Jørgensen is the favourite over Gus Hansen with odds of 60-40. Theo has been training for the last year whereas Gus has only been training the last 6-7 weeks. Also, Gus just recently had knee surgery and was seen limping around poker tournaments.
The idea for the fight started when Gus Hansen and good friend Theo Jorgensen were playing their regular game of Squash. Gus continued to win and after every point Gus would do "shadow boxing". Theo didn't like that and challenged Gus to a boxing match. Gus accepted and decided it was a good way to promote his new website gushansentv.com. You can watch the live stream video of the boxing match free at 21:00 GMT+1, (3PM EST Time) on Saturday, 21/02/09 on Gus' new site.
If you are in Denmark, you can watch it live. Entry will cost 249 Dkr ~ $43, tickets still available I believe.
