Giving a Little Bit Back

We approached the table with the turn dealt showing a {3-Spades} {7-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} board. The small-blind player had just bet 1,000 into Gus Hansen, who was sitting on the button. Hansen promptly raised this up to 3,375.

The small-blind player called so the dealer gave us a {4-Spades} for the river. This time the small-blind player checked to Hansen who counted out a bet of 6,625 and gently tossed it over the line. The small-blind player made the call without too much thought.

Hansen paused, hoping to see his opponent's cards first, but he was forced to show {4-?} {5-?} for two pair. His opponent's {7-Spades} {8-Spades} completed a flush, though, and won the pot.

Hansen on 53,000 right now.
