Gus Hansen tangles with the other brother

Posted by admin | News | Tuesday 21 April 2009 1:13 am

Gus Hansen just can’t quit those Dang brothers.

The Great Dane has been having a terrible April and things got worse last night as he tussled with Hac “trex313″ Dang at high stakes heads-up PLO.

You might remember that just last week Hansen was embroiled in a heated battle with Hac’s brother Di “Urindanger” Dang at the same stakes with the same result.

Last night Hansen and Hac played several pots that totaled over $200,000.

The pot of the evening came when Hac was dealt Js Ts 9d 8s while Hansen looked down to find Ac 7s 5s 3d. Hac bet pre-flop and Hansen flat-called.

The flop came 9s 4c 2h and trex313 C-bet. Hansen raised to $54,000 and Hac re-raised to $180,000. Hansen decided to call for the last of his $50,000 chips and the board finished with 2c and then the Ks to make Hac’s hand hold. The older Dang brother happily raked a $236,993 pot.

It was not a great session for Hansen, who despite being up nearly $3 million earlier this year, has donated most of it back to the high stakes sharks.

Meanwhile the rest of the high stakes players were rather quiet last night and the durrrr Challenge remains on an extended hiatus as Patrik Antonius is in Italy to play PokerStars.com EPT San Remo.
