Gus Hansen Eliminated

Masa Kagawa opened from middle position to 6,000 and when the action folded around to Gus Hansen, he bumped it to 20,000 out of the small blind. Kagawa thought for a little before the making the call.

With only 7,000 left, Hansen moved all his chips in the middle from the dark. The flop fell {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

and Kagawa, facing the all-in bet from Hansen, eventually made the call and the cards were tabled.

Hansen: {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

Kagawa:

{J-Spades}

{10-Spades}

Kagawa wasn't in great shape, needing a gut-shot queen or any jack or ten to take the lead. The {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

fell on the turn, sending Hansen to his feet. With the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

landing on the river, Hansen headed to the rail with a comment of, "Nice hand, Masa" from Phil Ivey as he returned from his penalty.
