Gus Hansen

Sorry ladies (and probably even a few men); Gus Hansen has been eliminated from the main event.

Hansen was knocked down to 50,000 in chips after getting it all in with pocket nines against an opponent's {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{J-Spades}

on an

{8-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

{5-Spades}

board. Gus' opponent turned a jack to steal the pot, leaving him short stacked.

A few hands later, he got it all in holding {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

from the small blind and Tyron Krost woke up to pocket nines in the big.

The ensuing board ran out {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

and Krost's nines held up to send the Team Full Tilter home in 23rd place.
