WATCH: Hansen Wins a Flip to Triple
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
"Let's go," Gus Hansen said as he moved all in for 12,500 from under the gun. Hansen began twirling his finger encouraging his tablemates to let him have the pot. They folded around to Julien Mariani on the button, who called.
"He hasn't lost a pot," Rehman Kassam told Hansen as he peeked at his cards in the big blind and reshoved for 95,000. Mariani tanked for a minute before folding.
Gus Hansen 9♠9♣
Rehman Kassam: A♥Q♣
Hansen was racing for his tournament life and stayed in the lead through the 3♣2♣K♦7♦4♦ board to earn a triple up.
"I've never had this many chips before. Maybe in another tournament," Hansen said as he dragged in the pot.
