Gus Hansen Loses over $1.2 Million In Just One Day

Last Friday, Gus Hansen battled it out with Di “Urindanger” Dang and David “MR B 2 U SON” Benyamine on Full Tilt Poker for one his biggest loses of his career. Gus Hansen posted over $1.2 million in losses, losing most of it playing heads-up pot-limit Omaha against Urindanger and Benyamine.



The three of them played a lot pots, many over $200k. But in the end, Dang took +$740,000 off Hansen and Benyamine finished +$645,000.

Here are some big hands:

The biggest hand Gus actually won. Gus flopped a straight flush 8-Q of clubs, and Benyamine flopped an ace high club flush. All the money went in on the flop and Gus took down the 242k pot.

Gus then loses a $236k pot to Benyamine when they both flopped a set! Gus flopped a set of deuces while Benyamine flopped a set of queens on a Q,10,2 board. Gus Hansen, out of position, check called on the flop and check raised on the turn. Benyamine raises all in and his hand holds up.

Another big hand: Urindanger and Gus play a $238k pot. Urindanger makes a big bluff on the turn with a flush draw and gut shot straight draw. Gus makes the call because he turned a set of jacks. Unfortunately for Gus, Urindanger hits a flush on the river and collects the $238k pot.
