Hansen Put To a Decision

Prior to the flop, Gus Hansen kicks things off with a raise to 28,000. Action passes to Philippe Narboni, who makes the call, and the two men go heads up to the flop.

It rolls out {10-Spades} {7-Spades} {8-Spades}. Gus studies for several minutes before continuing out with 42,200 chips. Narboni also considers things for a little bit before moving all in for an additional 202,600. Gus appears frustrated, letting out a, "Jesus Christ... what did I do?" as he ponders the situation. He shoots a quick glance over at his opponent, then spends several minutes just staring down at his chips shaking his head. Finally, he knocks the table and lets it go, sending more than 70,000 of his chips to the other side of the felt. After the hand, he is still right around the 1,000,000 mark, while Narboni has climbed up to 300,000 himself.
