Gus Hansen Wins $546,000, Still Down Almost $18 Million on Full Tilt
According to HighStakesDB, Gus Hansen (pictured) had a solid Sunday on the virtual felts of Full Tilt Poker, winning $546,000 at the cash game tables. However, he is still down almost $18 million since the site began tracking his account in 2006.
His damage on Sunday was done at the Eight-Game and Triple Draw tables, according to HighStakesDB: “Hansen played for a couple of hours post-midnight, winning at both the Triple Draw and Eight-Game tables, building a six-figure profit before taking 11 hours away from the tables, returning in the early afternoon, where he added another $87,000, putting his daily profit over $200,000.”
Hansen didn’t sit on $200,000 in profit, however. Instead, he came back for a nighttime session that saw him take $193,000 off an Eight-Game table with the likes of Phil “Polarizing” Ivey, Macau’s punting-peddler, Alexander “PostflopAction” Kostritsyn, Alex “Alexonmoon” Luneau, Hac “trex313” Dang, samrostan, and Patrik “FinddaGrind” Antonius. When all was said and done, Hansen walked off with $546,000.
As HighStakesDB noted, Hansen is down $17.8 million on Full Tilt since 2006. He is currently one of the lead faces of the site, dubbed the Professionals, and has dropped $7.2 million in Draw Games, $5.7 million in Pot Limit Omaha High-Low, $2.6 million in Mixed HA, $1.5 million in No Limit Texas Hold’em, and $1.3 million in Limit Omaha High-Low. He is up nearly $500,000 combined in Limit HORSE and Eight-Game. The tracking site has logged about 1.5 million hands for Hansen.
Despite the bleeding online, Hansen has been a beast on the live tournament felts. The Hendon Mob has logged $11.2 million in career live MTT earnings for the Danish player, who has largely been among the top 100 worldwide on the tournament poker money list since 2002:
2002 Money List: 12th
2003 Money List: 13th
2004 Money List: 70th
2005 Money List: 24th
2006 Money List: n/a
2007 Money List: 20th
2008 Money List: 23rd
2009 Money List: 486th
2010 Money List: 24th
2011 Money List: 394th
2012 Money List: 30th
2013 Money List: 5,149th
Hansen is tops on Denmark’s all-time money list despite a recent World Series of Poker Main Event winner, Peter Eastgate, also being from that country. He tops the Nordic all-time money list and has one WSOP bracelet.
