Goodbye, Gustav
Gavin Smith and Gus Hansen were all in for about ten minutes while they waited nervously for Leeann Tweeden to finish filming her introduction to the new feature table (Tom Dwan and Don Cheadle were moved there after Phil Laak busted Daniel Negreanu). Then they had to wait some more while cameras captured the all-in between Kara Scott and Andrew Robl. And finally, finally it was their turn.
They'd been staring at the flop long enough to have it memorized it by the time they were allowed to table their cards. Smith was in the lead with for top pair and had Hansen covered. Gus needed help with his for middle pair. The turn and river were bricks, and after a long wait, it was all over quickly.
"I lost $100 on that," Smith said. "I had Hansen to win it." Gavin will play James Bord in the next round.
