Full Tilt Poker Professional Gus Hansen Hits the Rail

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Gus Hansen

While Gus Hansen has had a busy week here in Galway, he was relatively quiet today. That recently changed when he was eliminated by Malta's Charlo Azzopardi.

We didn't catch the action until the river with a board reading {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. Hansen had checked to Azzopardi, who proceeded to bet enough to cover the "Great Dane."

Hansen, as he is prone to do, hit the tank and began talking to himself. "I did to time myself," he lamented before calling off his stack.

Azzopardi then tabled {a-}{a-} for pocket rockets, which bested the {A-}{J-} of Hansen. With that Hansen took the long walk of loneliness out of the tournament tent, across the foyer and into the Players' Lounge where he is currently playing Pacman in an attempt to best his high score.
