Seed Eliminates Hansen, Cashes for Fifth Year in a Row

Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen
Huck Seed a huge chunk of Gus Hansen's stack earlier; he has it all now. Hansen raised from the button, then called all in after Seed re-raised. Hansen had the best hand before the flop, tabling {J-Clubs} {J-Spades} against Seed's {A-?} {Q-?}. It was Seed who connected with the flop, {10-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {7-Hearts}, to make a pair of queens. Hansen didn't improve from there and has been eliminated.

With that elimination, Seed becomes the first player to cash in this tournament for five straight years. One other person can match that accomplishment; Scott Fischman is playing David Williams right now for the same accolade.
