Hansen Second Best and He Knows It

Gus

A player in early position opened to 4,000, and Gus Hansen three-bet to 11,100 from the blinds. When it came back to the original raiser, he moved all in for 60,400, and that sent Hansen into the tank.

"There's absolutely no chance I'm folding. But I might talk myself into it. What is it? Fifty-eight four?"

Leo Fernandez was eyeballing the bet as the dealer counted it out. "Looks like fifty-nine four."

"Fifty-nine four? Oh, that might swing it." The dealer then announced the correct amount, and Hansen was still toying with it. "Wow, sixty and four... I really might fold now. Usually this is the second-best hand."

With that, he plunked the calling chips into the middle. His opponent showed up {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}, and Hansen tabled the 'second-best' {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}

Board: {3-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {2-Spades} {5-Hearts} {2-Hearts}.

Hansen and his pocket jacks send a double up across the felt, and he has slipped back to 110,000.
