A dog day afternoon

Saturday, 26 July 2008

 It's becoming a theme of mine, writing about Gus Hansen losing large pots.

As I write this, the largest online pot of the day happens to be a sizeable loss to the Great Dane, Gus Hansen. This session takes place between Gus Hansen, and the formable Brian Hastings.

Even though Rob Hollink is sitting with the two, he's sitting with only $16,000 taking a shot at a quick big hit. Because he only has one hand to pick to run with, this session is basically a heads up match between the two Full Tilt pros.

This hand, and many more, can be watched in our custom hand re-player found in our MarketPulse section.

   

 

Here's the hand...

Hastings made his plays on a flush draw, not knowing that his bottom pair was actually good. The fact that it improved to trips only made his hand stronger with Hansen missing his multiple straight draws. This pot, though sizeable on its own, is a relatively sizeable loss in the history of Hansen's play, and with the size of many of the wins he's had, I'm sure he can more than afford it.
