No Pressure for Hansen

Big-stacked and not feeling any pressure on the money bubble, Gus Hansen mucked his cards over at the ESPN Feature Table and took the time to sign his autograph on a female spectator's hip while the table finished out the hand.

In With the Best

That's about all you can hope for when you're desperately short-stacked and the bubble looms. Ron Toledo moved in with his last 8,500 with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and Carl Olsen called without looking at his cards from the big blind. Olsen held {A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, about as good of a situation as Toledo could hope for...until the flop came {J-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. The {4-Diamonds} on the turn put out the possibility of a chop if a 3 hit, but the river was the {10-Clubs} and Toledo was eliminated.

Gus Hansen Likes the River

John Duthie, Gus Hansen, Matthew Hilger, and the big blind all limped in and saw a flop of {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Duthie led out for 9,000, Hansen called, and the blinds folded. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}. Duthie checked, Hansen bet 13,000, and Duthie called. The river was the {A-Clubs}. Duthie bet 31,000 and after thinking it over for about 2 minutes, Hansen called.

Duthie showed the {8-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a pair of tens, while Hansen turned over A-8 for a pair of aces and took down the 116K pot.

Aces Hold Up on the Bubble

During Hand #10, a short stack was all in preflop with A-A against another player's {K-Spades}{10-Spades}. There was a king on the flop, but the big stack never improved beyond that, and another short stack survived.
