Gus Hansen has just dropped to 255,000 in chips from 317,000 after losing a recent flippish sort of situation up in Studio 3.

Hansen opened the pot with a raise to 9,000 and his opponent moved all in over the top for 61,500. Hansen made the call holding {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

and it proved to be a good one as his opponent revealed a meager {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

.

Still, Gus' opponent's cards were very live, and they got a whole lot stronger after the flop came {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

, giving him bottom pair.

The turn and river then finished out {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

,

{4-Diamonds}

and the fives held up, knocking Gus back down below the 300k mark.
